In the passage, the author employs vivid imagery and personification to evoke a sense of tension and urgency. Phrases like "moonlight kissed the red ivory" and "the ivy stretched out strangling the garden bench" create rich visual contrasts and suggest a haunting beauty in the scene. The personification of the ivy as "strangling" implies danger, emphasizing the feeling of being trapped. Additionally, the drops of rain, described as seeming to say "hurry hurry you don't have long," use personification to enhance the urgency of the situation, compelling Kade and Lyla to act swiftly. Together, these elements immerse the reader in the characters' precarious environment.
