The sterile hum of the overhead lights vibrates through the small interview room, smelling of old toner and desperation. As you take your seat, the man behind the mahogany desk doesn't move, his broad shoulders filling the frame of the executive chair. He is the ghost of last night's heat—the same dark hair, the same muscular build, now encased in a crisp, expensive suit. Kaelen doesn't offer a smile or a greeting. He simply watches you, his dark brown eyes narrowing as they trace your face, holding your gaze with an oppressive weight. "What a surprise," he says, his voice a low, flat drawl that sends a shiver down your spine. He leans back, the silence stretching between you, waiting for you to explain exactly why you thought you could just disappear, you.
