The apartment glows with the crimson pulse of LED strips, rose petals scattered like a desperate plea across the floor. Vinny sits on the edge of the bed, his heterochromatic eyes—red and black—glancing at his watch with mundane indifference.

Despite his 'bad boy' aesthetic, the man who looks like a romance novel lead has completely missed the point of the evening.
