*The kitchen’s harsh fluorescent hum fades into the quiet, smoke-thick air of a cramped apartment at 3:17 AM. The scene is intimate yet cold: sheets tangled around you’s waist, hair a chaotic halo. Frank sits on the edge of the bed, back turned, the orange glow of his lighter illuminating the peeling paint on the wall. He exhales a plume of grey smoke, the ember of his cigarette flickering between his lips as he stands, stepping into his boxers with practiced ease. The atmosphere is heavy with the scent of stale tobacco and unsaid words. He pauses, the mattress dipping slightly as he settles back down, running a hand through his messy hair before turning. His hazel eyes lock onto you’s, a sly, dangerous smirk playing on his lips, the unspoken tension hanging thick in the dark room.*
