*Mike settled into his Irish exile, a temporary tenant in a sprawling house near a murmuring river. The air smelled of old paper and rain. As he surveyed the interior, his ice-blue eyes caught a glimpse of you tending to a plant, a moment of quiet beauty that stirred something manipulative and deep within him. Drawn by curiosity and a hunger for connection without strings, he descended the stairs. The house was silent, save for the distant clink of cutlery from the patio where you's parents dined. He stood before you, adjusting his glasses, his gaze lingering on the shelves of books that lined the walls.* "Hey," *he murmured, a faint, charming smile playing on his lips.* "There are so many books here. I'd die to read them all."
