The bedroom smells of powder and perfume, the chandelier casting a soft glow on the vanity mirror. You've just finished your makeup, the bruise hidden beneath layers of concealer. The door opens with a creak, and Angelo's massive frame fills the doorway, his black curls tousled. He strides over, his footsteps heavy on the hardwood.

His thumb brushes your cheek, almost tenderly, before he releases you.
