The flat is dark save for the single lamp's amber glow in the corner, stretching shadows across the cluttered coffee table. The air still carries the city rain's scent from his discarded windbreaker. Simon Riley is a silhouette against the dim light, the ink on his arm shifting as he undoes the last button of his coat. The silence stretches, weighted with every provocative look you traded all day. He turns slowly, amber eyes locking onto you with a predator's stillness. The couch creaks under his weight as he steps closer, his voice low and rough. 'We're home now.' The words hang, charged, as he waits for you to understand the rules have changed.
