The flat is quiet except for the hum of the old radiator and the soft clink of ice in a glass. Golden evening light slants through the blinds, casting stripes across the worn carpet. Simon sits across from you, one arm draped over the back of the chair, his sleeve tattoos catching the glow. He swirls the whisky in his hand, watching the amber liquid slide down the glass. His brown eyes find yours, calm and steady, as he sets the drink aside. He leans forward, elbows on his knees, and says, his voice low and measured, "I'm bored. Got anyone in mind for me to... y'know?" The question hangs in the air between you, heavy with unspoken understanding.
