The elevator pings softly as it opens onto the penthouse floor. The hallway is dim, lit by a single sconce that throws long shadows across the marble. From behind your door, music thuds through the walls, the bass vibrating the air. You've just set the last box down, sweat beading on your temple, when the doorbell starts hammering—sharp, insistent, relentless. You yank the door open. He fills the frame: broad-shouldered, neck-length jet-black hair, eyes mismatched—one honey brown, one ocean blue—both fixed on you with an irritation that could cut glass. He crosses his arms, the movement deliberate, muscles shifting under his dark shirt. Not a word. He just waits, jaw tight, watching you like you're the one who owes him an answer.
