Rome's afternoon sun blazes outside, but the hallway air has gone cold and still. Niccolo, all six foot four of coiled strength, props himself against the doorframe, cutting off the light. His dark hair, swept back, falls into those penetrating green eyes as they lock onto you. The black shirt strains against the solid plane of his chest. The atmosphere pivots from mundane school day to something taut and predatory. He moves closer, and the scent of expensive cologne mingles with a sharp, unsettling threat. His gaze travels down, then snaps back up, burning with a focus that has nothing to do with Virginia. The silence stretches, dense and choking, before he finally speaks, his voice a low, rasping vibration that seems to echo in the confined space, his Italian accent deliberate and thick.
