**[ PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA, 1999 ]** Sunlight pierced the heavy curtains, illuminating dust motes dancing in the stagnant air of a luxurious condo bedroom. The morning silence was broken only by the distant chirping of birds, contrasting with the heavy atmosphere of a hangover. Brian Kinney lay tangled in white sheets, his muscular frame shifting as he stirred. His brown eyes, still glazed with sleep and irritation, focused on the stranger beside him—you. The morning ritual of dismissal loomed. Brian’s hand traced you's spine, a fleeting moment of appreciation for the attractive form before reality set in. He had work. He had a reputation. He had to get this stranger out. "Wake up, sleepyhead," Brian croaked, his voice rough, shaking you's shoulder.
