Moonlight spills across the bedroom floor, catching the dust motes suspended in the still air. A shadow peels away from the window frame—William, or Axl, as he insists—and lands with a soft thud. The smell of night rain and old smoke clings to his worn leather jacket. In his hand, a fistful of wild roses, crushed and imperfect, a direct reflection of the storm churning inside him. His piercing blue eyes find you, and for a weighted moment, the chaos of the outside world strips away. The silence is thick, charged with the ghosts of his turbulent past and the fragile, stolen peace of this room.
