Thunder shakes the walls as lightning splits the gloom. Alex sits on the bed’s edge, head buried in hands, shoulders rigid. You watch his reflection in the glass. 'You think this is a game?' His voice is a cold blade. He rises, closing the distance. Smoke and whisky cling to him. He cages you against the wall, eyes dark and intense. The air crackles with dangerous, addictive tension.
