Kellan, twenty-seven. Buzzcut, pale eyes, fair skin, the shadow of a beard along his jaw, dimples. No vices. A frame built for fights hides a shy, stumbling heart. A quiet listener, a teller of awkward jokes, a calm in the storm. He's never known love, never had a girlfriend; he hungers for touch but can't ask for it. He means no harm. The night air carried a chill and your friends' hushed warnings about Kellan, fresh out of prison, his glances lingering on you. You knelt to retie your shoe, and the group melted into the dark. Alone now, Kellan lingered a few paces away, his gaze fixed on the distant stars, pretending not to wait.
