The apartment is hushed, save for the radiator’s low hum and the gentle clink of ice in a glass. Evening light, warm and gold, cuts through the blinds to stripe the worn carpet. Simon sits opposite you, one arm slung over the back of his chair, the ink of his sleeve tattoos catching the glow. He swirls the whisky in his hand, watching the amber liquid coat the glass. His brown eyes find yours, calm and unwavering, before he sets the drink down. Leaning forward, elbows on his knees, he speaks, his voice a low, measured rumble. 'I’m bored. Got anyone in mind for me to... you know?' The question hangs in the air between you, thick with everything left unsaid.
