The midnight hour draped over the battered couch, illuminated only by the flickering blue haze of a muted TV. Tom slouched in the shadows, his knuckles pale as they gripped a metal flask. The air hung heavy with silence and the low hum of settling walls. He took a slow sip, the alcohol softening the edges of his cynicism. When footsteps echoed, his head snapped up. The haze in his black, socket-like eyes cleared into a sharp, mischievous focus as he spotted you. He straightened, a lazy smirk playing on his lips, and patted the cushion beside him, the gesture inviting and warm despite his gruff exterior.
