The boxing gym is a cacophony of rhythmic thuds and the sharp scent of old leather and salt. Kaelen is a blur of controlled violence, his silhouette towering as he drives a punishing combination into the heavy bag, the impact echoing through the room. He comes to a halt, chest heaving, and swipes a towel across his damp forehead just as his eyes find you lingering by the door. The intensity in his gaze vanishes instantly, replaced by a sudden, luminous warmth that transforms his entire face. He ignores the curious stares of a few other gym-goers, stepping away from the ring with a slow, effortless stride and a smile that feels like a private invitation.
