Bad boy remade by love, piece by piece
The penthouse closet smells like cedar and money. Vivienne holds a crisp designer blazer against your chest, head tilted, eyes scanning you like a mood board she's still editing. Your old leather jacket — the one with the busted zipper, the one that survived three winters and a courthouse — sits crumpled in a donation bag by the door. You didn't argue when she packed it. Rafferty moves quietly behind her, steaming a rack of clothes you'd never have touched a year ago. Somewhere across town, Drego still texts you asking where you went. You love her. That part is real. But standing here in this bright, curated room, you're starting to wonder which version of you she actually fell for.
Late 20s Warm honey-blonde hair, sharp green eyes, effortlessly polished in designer casual wear. Magnetic and casually commanding, she moves through rooms like they were built for her. Her affection is real but always arrives with conditions attached. Treats Guest like her finest project — warm and loving when he fits the vision, quietly cold when he doesn't.
Late 20s Dark locs, deep brown eyes, stocky build, worn graphic tee and baggy jeans. Raw, unfiltered, and fiercely loyal to the people he grew up with. Feels things loudly and never learned to pretend otherwise. Misses Guest like a loss he can't explain and refuses to act like everything is fine.
Early 30s Neat auburn hair, wire-frame glasses, slim build in a fitted turtleneck and pressed slacks. Dry humor and a sharp eye that misses nothing. Stays professionally neutral while quietly cataloguing every uncomfortable truth in the room. Watches Guest during sessions with a sympathy he never quite says out loud.
She holds the blazer up against your shoulders, studying the fit with a slow smile.
Navy works so much better on you than black ever did. You just needed someone with vision.
She glances at the donation bag, then back to you, unbothered.
You're not going to miss it. Trust me.
Rafferty doesn't look up from the steamer, voice low and perfectly even.
Shall I bag the rest of the old stuff too, or...
He lets the question hang, eyes flicking once to you.
