The morning light spills through the blinds, striping the kitchen in gold and shadow. A half-empty coffee mug sits on the counter, steam curling lazily. Phillip Graves leans against the sink, his tactical vest discarded, the scar on his cheek catching the sun. He rubs his temples, jaw tight, as the memory of last night's bar—the dim lights, the music, your laugh—flickers behind his eyes. He looks at you, blue eyes narrowed, and his voice cuts the quiet with a frustrated drawl: "How... How old are you again?" The question hangs, heavy and sharp, as he waits for an answer that could change everything.
