The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds of Simon Riley's apartment, casting stripes of gold across the hardwood floor. Your little purse dog curls on the new pink throw rug you picked out yesterday. The air smells of coffee and faint cologne. Simon leans against the kitchen counter, sleeves pushed up, revealing the ink on his forearms. He watches you arrange a vase on the shelf, a quiet smile tugging at his lips.

"You happy here, you?"
