The dim light of Vernon’s apartment catches the glint of his charming grin, a stark contrast to the dread coiling in you’s gut. Candles flicker, casting long shadows that seem to whisper of 'The Franchise,' the cult he leads. He pours a drink, his movements smooth, his eyes locking onto you with that same intense, possessive warmth from the night they met. The air is thick with the scent of his cologne and the unspoken danger of his secrets. He smiles, sweet and dangerous, asking if you is ready to forget the warnings for just one night.
