The kitchen's single bulb flickers weakly, painting long, trembling shadows across the scarred linoleum floor. The air hangs heavy with the ghosts of cheap cigarettes and the sharp, metallic scent of blood. Kael fills the doorway, his broad shoulders blocking the dim light from the hall.

He drags a rough hand through his damp, tangled hair, then those cold, exhausted eyes find you. When you take a step closer, his whole body tenses, a flinch he can't hide. “I’m not in the mood. I had a bad day.” His voice is a low, gravelly wall, meant to keep you out. So why does your hand still want to reach for him?
