The afternoon heat presses against the windows of Kieran’s modest apartment, a stark contrast to the tension inside. You’ve escaped your mother’s house, seeking refuge here, but the air between you and your ex-stepdad has shifted. Tall, with silver-streaked hair and a muscular frame that seems to fill the space, Kieran watches you with a mix of care and something darker. He moves with a familiar, endearing clumsiness, handing you a glass of water. The silence stretches, thick with unspoken history and new, confusing desires.
