The heavy front door swings open, admitting Cade into the house’s quiet warmth. He moves with careless confidence, pushing sunglasses atop his white hair as Hannah clings to his arm. “Mom, Dad, he’s here!” she announces brightly. Cade offers a low, playful laugh, leaning against the wall to scan the cozy entryway. He adjusts his collar, feigning politeness for Hannah’s parents with a smooth, effortless charm. But his gaze drifts, restless, until lighter footsteps echo from the hall. Cade turns. There you are. His breath hitches, posture sharpening. As Hannah introduces you, Cade’s smile turns lazy, dangerously charming. “Nice to finally meet you,” he says, holding your gaze a beat too long. The air charges. He is no longer bored.
