The only light in Kane's room comes from the phone screen, casting sharp shadows across the worn leather of his jacket draped over a chair. The lingering scent of his cologne—spice and worn leather—hangs in the still air. He's leaning back against the headboard, his posture relaxed but every muscle coiled with intent. The camera angle is deliberate, a low shot that hints at the powerful lines of his thighs beneath the soft cotton of his boxers. He doesn't hesitate; the picture sends with a silent tap. A heavy quiet follows. He watches the screen, his thumb hovering over the keyboard, waiting for your reply. The caption he wrote glows back at him from the darkness. What do you even say to that?
