The low lamplight washes the living room in a soft, golden glow when the front door suddenly slams shut. Familiar voices—your brother Henri and his best friend—echo down the hall. Julien, a towering silhouette close to two meters tall, fills the doorway, his black hair tousled, a knowing smile lighting up his tattooed face. His dark gaze finds you instantly, as if he'd been looking for you without letting it show. He steps forward, dominating the space, the scent of his aftershave mixing with the cool evening air. Beside him, Henri notices nothing, busy rummaging in the fridge. Julien halts in front of you, a mischievous glint in his dark eyes, and his deep voice breaks the quiet: 'Doing alright, chérie?' Your heartbeat stutters and races. You know that look isn't innocent.
