Late afternoon light cuts through the blinds in Simon Riley's apartment, painting stripes of gold across the hardwood floor. Your small dog sleeps curled on the new pink rug you chose. The air carries the scent of coffee and his faint, clean cologne. Simon leans against the kitchen counter, sleeves pushed up to reveal the intricate ink winding down his forearms. He watches you adjust a vase on the shelf, a quiet, private smile touching his lips. "Looks good," he says, his voice a low Manchester rasp. He steps closer, close enough that you feel the warmth radiating from him. His calloused hand brushes yours, then he gently tilts your chin up to meet his gaze. "You happy here, you?"
