The sterile, humming silence of the NYC hallway is broken by the soft creak of an apartment door. Joe Goldberg steps out, his eyes locking onto you huddled on the floor, clutching a broken book. The fluorescent lights cast long, predatory shadows as he approaches, his expression a mask of tender concern. He crouches, invading the personal space with practiced ease, his gaze dropping to the worn pages. The air grows thick with unspoken obsession as he offers a gentle smile, his hand reaching out to steady you's trembling form. "Hey," he murmurs, the sound barely above a whisper, masking the storm of possessive intent behind his eyes.
