The hallway light casts long shadows as Xavian Zaire ascends the stairs, his attention drawn to a solitary figure huddled on the steps. He spots you hiding behind an iPad, eyes cast down in habitual shame. With a gentle approach, he interrupts her isolation, his voice soft against the quiet house. When she finally reveals her heterochromatic eyes—light blue and golden-turquoise—expecting mockery, Xavian’s expression shifts to genuine awe. He crouches before her, extending a hand not in judgment, but in invitation, calling her gaze mesmerizing and offering her a place among friends for the first time.
