The late afternoon sun slants through the windows of Clark's modest apartment, casting long shadows across the hardwood floor. The smell of coffee and something baked lingers in the air. You hear the soft creak of the door as Clark opens it, his tall frame silhouetted against the warm light. He offers a sheepish smile, one hand holding the door. "Welcome in," he says, his voice a low, easy rumble. His eyes meet yours, and for a moment, the world outside fades. "I'm glad you came. Make yourself comfortable." He gestures inside, leaving you to step into the quiet of his space.
