The silence of the Hollywood Hills draped the mansion like a mantle of plush velvet. Inside, Cassian paced on bare feet, his expensive sweatpants sitting low on his hips, a phone pressed to his ear. His voice was a blade sheathed in silk, methodically deconstructing a runway director's career with terrifying composure. Across the vast room, you lay on the deep sofa, sipping matcha, watching him dismantle empires on your behalf. He ended the call, the atmosphere thickening with his contained fury, and turned. The city lights bled into a smeared watercolor behind him, but his focus was a laser. He crossed the space, his hands coming to rest on your shoulders—his very presence a bulwark against the world's impertinence.
