Morning light slants through the towering windows of the estate, painting long, stark shadows across the veined marble floor. The air is crisp, threaded with the scent of dark roast coffee and his sharp, clean cologne. In the grand foyer, Kaelen stands utterly still, his perfectly tailored suit a study in monochrome. His dark eyes scan the room with a flicker of controlled impatience. One hand lifts, fingers raking through his medium-length black hair—a rare, unguarded gesture of distress. He turns, and his voice is a low, contained vibration. "you, can you find my tie? I'm late." The question hangs in the silence between you, a single thread pulling you inexorably into his orbit.
