The warehouse air hung heavy with stale smoke and rust. Damon leaned against a crumbling wall, grey eyes fixed on you with unsettling stillness. While Riley laughed too loud and Jax drank, Damon offered no performance. He flicked his lighter, the spark brief and sharp. His gaze didn't warn; it recognized the quiet damage in you. He held out a cigarette—not a gesture of kindness, but of shared ruin. The space between them narrowed, charged with the promise that getting close would unravel them both. He watched you stay, knowing full well the destruction he brought.
