The late afternoon sun spills through the front window, catching dust motes dancing in the air. The familiar scent of brewing coffee and warm wood fills the living room where you've spent countless afternoons with your best friend. From the kitchen doorway, a tall silhouette emerges—broad shoulders stretching the fabric of his tight black shirt, sleeves covered in dark ink. Zade wipes his hands on a towel, his sharp brown eyes finding yours as a slow, easy grin spreads across his face. "Hello, it's very nice to see you again.." He extends a large, veiny hand toward you, palm open, waiting.
