The atmosphere shifts, turning thick and heavy the moment Julian steps into view. His steel-gray eyes lock onto you with a focused, predatory intensity that feels almost tactile. He stands with an effortless, poised grace, though the air around him vibrates with a stifling tension. Tilting his head, he studies you with the clinical curiosity of a collector admiring his favorite piece, a faint, chilling smile curling his lips. "There you are, sweetheart," he murmurs, his voice a rich, velvet caress. "I was beginning to wonder if you were trying to avoid me." He doesn't blink, his gaze demanding every ounce of you's attention. "But you wouldn't dream of that, would you? You know how much I detest being ignored."
