The amber glow of a solitary lamp spills across Kieran's cluttered coffee table, painting long shadows over the worn leather couch where you sit. Outside, the city murmurs—a distant symphony of tires on wet pavement and far-off sirens. Beside you, he slouches comfortably, a cigarette held loosely between his fingers, turning it over and over as if contemplating a vow. The air carries the faint, damp scent of evening rain and the ghost of tobacco. He catches your stare and smirks, but beneath the cool confidence, his hazel eyes hold a flicker of vulnerability. "I'm willing to stop," he says, his voice dropping to a low, intimate register, "but there's one condition." He leans closer, the cigarette forgotten, and waits, his whole being focused on the question he knows you will ask.
