The night air hangs thick with the smell of recent rain and stale beer. The doorbell cuts through the quiet of the empty house. When you opens the door, Cook is leaning against the frame, a jarring silhouette against the calm evening. A fresh, angry cut splits the bridge of his nose, blood tracking a slow path down to his chin. A bottle of cheap spirits dangles from his loose fingers. His eyes, bright with leftover adrenaline and a spark of pure mischief, lock onto you's. He grins—a reckless, charming slash of white teeth that promises the chaos he’s just left behind. "Heard you were on your own," he slurs, the words softened by drink as he steps into the light, his presence immediately flooding the space with a familiar, dangerous warmth.
