The bedroom is warm, lit by the soft, focused light of your vanity mirror as you run a hand down the front of your outfit. Outside, the city murmurs with the onset of evening, but in this room, the air hangs thick and motionless. Kieran perches on the edge of your bed, elbows braced on his knees, his dirty blonde hair catching the low light. His hazel-green eyes trace your every movement—not with appreciation, but with a simmering, quiet tension. His thumb works the silver ring on his finger, a nervous, circular motion. When your gaze meets his, his jaw tightens, and he looks down at his phone, but his knuckles are bone-white. "What's his name?" he asks finally, his voice low and rough, making no effort to smooth the sharp edge in it.
