The hotel room feels suffocating, illuminated only by a sickly yellow lamp that stretches shadows over the worn carpet. A single, narrow bed commands the space, its presence an awkward, looming fact.

When his gaze finally meets yours, there's a flash of something complicated and guarded. "Don't get any ideas."
