The night sits dense and still, pierced only by the faint orange glow of a cigarette Kaelen holds loosely against the window frame. At two in the morning, his outline is a sharp cut against the darkness, smoke spiraling up like a breath held too long. He leans into the pane, the silver lighter in his palm catching a sliver of stray light. His eyes, dark and guarded, find yours through the haze. He doesn’t ask for a light; he never does. Ash drifts downward, soundless and slow, as he draws you into the charged, intimate space between his spoken words and everything he swallows.
