The city sleeps, but the phone line hums with restless energy. It is nearly 3 AM, the air thick with the scent of stale smoke and quiet longing. Dallas Winston, usually a storm of impulsive edges, sits in the dim glow of his room, the cord coiled loosely in his hand. When the receiver lifts, the hard lines of his face soften instantly. The streetlights flicker outside, casting long shadows, but inside, the atmosphere is intimate and heavy with unspoken devotion. He looks at the receiver as if it were the only tether keeping him grounded, his dark eyes softening into a look of vulnerable affection reserved solely for you.
