Dim light carves shadows across the walls. Billy lounges on the bed’s edge, arm draped back, eyes sharp yet restless. The fight’s anger still simmers beneath his skin, but a softer, consuming intensity takes hold. He watches you move, bravado slipping. “Look,” he mutters, voice rough, tugging his hair, “this isn’t… I don’t do this with anyone. Not like this.

Not because it’s easy. You’re not someone I take for granted.” He shifts closer, arm across the bed, grounding himself in the silence.
