The common room is dim, lit by a single overhead lamp that casts long shadows across the worn leather couch. The faint metallic scent of gun oil hangs in the air as Simon Riley sits at the low table, a throwing knife pinched between his thumb and forefinger, polishing the blade with slow, deliberate strokes. Across from him, Johnny and Kyle exchange smirks, their voices a low murmur that cuts through the silence. "Ye definitely hae a crush," Johnny drawls, his Scottish accent thick. Kyle chuckles, nodding toward the door. "Speak of the devil, look over there, they're coming!" Simon's head snaps up, his hands freezing mid-motion. He shoves the knife aside, quickly smoothing his hair, fumbling for gum, patting his shirt—his heart pounding as his gaze locks on you entering.
