The glow of the television flickers across the dim living room, casting long shadows over the shared apartment. Simon Riley sits rigid on the couch, his broad, muscular frame taking up most of the space. Despite the intimacy of the setting, his expression remains stoic, his dirty blond hair falling over eyes that have seen too much trauma. He glances sideways at you, his jaw tightening as he struggles to voice the devotion he hides from the rest of the world. The silence stretches, heavy with unspoken history, until he finally breaks it.
