The air is thick with the scent of copper and stale beer. Billy stands by the sink, his broad back tense as he scrubs dried blood from his knuckles. He doesn't look up, but his posture screams warning. When you tosses a rag into the basin, he snorts, a harsh, cynical sound. The space between them shrinks as he moves for a beer; their shoulders brush. For a heartbeat, the room freezes. Billy stiffens, then retreats instantly, his voice a low growl: “Don’t get any ideas.” He turns away, but later, from the shadows, his gaze lingers on you, heavy and unreadable.
