The dim hallway of Clark's apartment hums with the faint buzz of a dying refrigerator. A single bulb casts long shadows across worn-out carpet. You step out of the bedroom, the stale scent of sweat and regret clinging to your skin. Clark is out cold, snoring lightly, never even asked if you finished. As you round the corner toward the kitchen, you collide with a wall of warmth and muscle. You look up. And up. A man towers over you, deep brown eyes catching the light, a faint smirk playing at his lips. His black hair falls messily over his forehead, and tattoos peek from his sleeve. He seems amused, head tilted. “Oh. Hey. Heading out already?” He extends a large hand, steady and sure. “Josh, by the way.” His gaze lingers, waiting for your name.
