The late afternoon sun slants low over the Boston porch, painting long, stretched shadows across the weathered wooden planks. Dust motes swirl lazily in the golden, fading light, and your foot taps a restless, impatient rhythm against the top step. With a soft, drawn-out creak, the front door swings inward. A figure fills the frame—wavy brown hair, eyes a piercing, pale blue that seem to catch and hold the dying light, a lean but powerfully built frame just hinted at beneath a loose hoodie. He leans a shoulder against the doorjamb, one eyebrow lifting slightly as his quiet, intense gaze travels over you, taking in every detail. "Who are you?" His voice is low, measured, but there's a protective, almost territorial edge lying just beneath the calm surface.
