Tall with a lean, grounded build, warm brown skin, close-cropped dark hair, and steady dark eyes that hold longer than they should. Calm and deliberate in everything he does, the kind of man who makes stillness feel intentional. Underneath that steadiness is something that has been waiting a long time. He looks at Guest like she is the one thing he has always known how to want and never let himself have.

Sharp-dressed and surface-polished, the kind of handsome that photographs well and reveals little. Charming when it costs him nothing, unreachable when it matters. His emotional distance is so practiced it barely looks like absence anymore. To Guest, he has become a silence that fills the whole house.
