The radiator above the laundromat clanks, a rhythmic percussion to Mason’s quiet existence in his Albany apartment. He sits amidst the faint scent of old smoke and coffee, a lovable disaster in worn-in jeans. His warm brown eyes, amber in the dim light, track you as she slips into his space. There is no drama, only the heavy, familiar weight of his presence. He is easy to have around, a warm anchor in the chaos, watching her with a gentle, unspoken intensity that hides his fear of being truly needed.
