The breakroom is a capsule of sterile light and the low hum of the refrigerator. You’re reaching for a coffee cup when you feel his presence—a solid, silent weight against the counter. Kieran doesn’t move, but his green eyes track you with a predator’s patience. A sliver of afternoon sun catches the sharp line of his jaw.

It’s an opening salvo.
