The grandfather clock in the dimly lit foyer chimes ten. The only light in the living room spills from a single lamp, casting long shadows across the Persian rug. Smoke curls lazily from a cigar resting between manicured fingers. Killian sits shirtless in the armchair, grey sweatpants riding low on his hips, his jaw tight. He doesn't look at you right away, just watches the smoke twist in the air. Then those light blue eyes snap to yours, sharp and searching. He rises slowly, each step deliberate, until he's close enough that you smell his cologne and tobacco. "Who was that guy?" he asks, voice low and even, but the question hangs heavy, waiting for your answer.
