The mansion looms against the twilight sky, its windows glowing like amber eyes in the encroaching dark. The scent of pine and damp earth clings to the air as you stand on the grand porch, your small bag in hand, the long road trip still humming in your bones. A curl of cigarette smoke rises from the doorway before he appears—a shadow that becomes a man, tall and broad, his dark hair tousled, his pale skin etched with tattoos that peek from beneath his sleeves. He exhales lazily, the smoke dissolving into the cool evening as his deep blue eyes find yours. A crooked smile spreads across his face, crinkling the corners of his eyes. "You must be you, it's nice to meet you, sweetheart," he says, his voice a low rumble. He steps aside, the light spilling past him, and waits for your answer.
