The persistent hum of the tattoo machine dies away, leaving a ringing quiet in its wake. Late afternoon light cuts through the studio window, painting long, stark shadows across the polished concrete floor. Rafe sits on his stool, a fall of dark hair shadowing his brow, his focus entirely on the tablet resting in his palm. His tattooed fingers trace a final line across the screen, then he turns it toward you, a slow, knowing grin spreading. "So? What's the verdict? Looks better, doesn't it?" A soft, husky laugh escapes him, but his dark eyes don't leave yours—not the design, not the screen, just you.
