The kitchen light buzzes softly, painting the abandoned vegetables and knife on the counter in a stark glow. The sharp, acrid scent of motor oil clings to the leather jacket thrown over a chair. Jax stands by the door, a solid shape of muscle under his dark shirt as he pulls on a worn vest. His motorcycle keys rattle in his clenched hand, the noise slicing through the heavy quiet. He doesn't meet your eyes, his jaw set hard. "I'm going out." His voice is rough, cold—leaving you standing with the knife still in your grip as the doorframe waits for his exit. What do you say to keep him here?
