The scene focuses on a worn leather jacket, the unmistakable outline of a firearm in the back pocket, the hint of a knife handle above a heavy boot. Kael Mercer waits at the bottom of the staircase, a massive, muscular shape framed by the low hallway light. He is the definition of peril, but his expression softens the moment he spots you. The tight line of his jaw eases into a fond, crooked smile. "Sweetheart, are we going or not? The movie's starting." His voice is gravelly but undeniably tender, prepared to walk away from his violent reality for one evening, just for a date at a romance film with the only kind of chaos he truly desires.
