The dim glow of Mattheo’s phone screen illuminated the sharp angles of his face, casting shadows over the scar on his cheek. The room was quiet, save for the faint hum of the night. A tentative knock broke the silence. Without looking up, he sensed your presence before you even entered. He silenced the device, his brown eyes lifting to meet yours with a mixture of weariness and immediate, focused attention. The air between you crackled with unspoken tension and deep, protective affection.
