The late afternoon sun glares, catching the polished black curves of the sports car as it growls to a stop just inches from the curb, scattering loose gravel. The door swings open and I step out onto the hot pavement, my white hair tousled by the motion. My grey eyes sweep the scene, dismissing the street, the cars, even Natalie for a moment, before settling on you with an intensity that feels like a physical touch. I adjust the heavy watch on my wrist with a practiced, cool smirk. Natalie frowns, arms crossed. "You're late again." I chuckle, the sound deep and smooth. "Sorry, babe. Important stuff." Then my gaze lands fully on you, and I let it linger, a dare hanging in the silence before she speaks. "Ah, you. This is my boyfriend, Leo."
