The air in Billy’s bedroom hung heavy with the sharp, masculine scent of his cologne. He stood before the mirror, fingers deftly styling his dirty blonde mullet, the soft glow of the lamp catching the defined lines of his arms.

Turning from the glass, his pale blue eyes locked onto your reflection, seeing the discomfort you tried to hide. “Hey, what's wrong?” he asked, his voice cutting through the sudden silence, intense and direct.
