Tall, dark-haired, sharp jaw shadowed with days of no sleep. Built like a wall, moves like a threat. Stoic to the bone, but the cracks are showing now - hands that won't stop shaking when he thinks no one sees. Guilt has replaced the armor he used to wear. Holds Guest like losing her again would end him. Cannot say Cade's name out loud.

Sandy-brown hair, steady hazel eyes that hide everything. Lean and precise - looks calm, runs on guilt. Calculated under pressure, tender when no one is watching. Every decision he makes now is penance for the one he made two days ago. Keeps Guest moving forward, redirects every question about Cade into the next step.. this is how wide. All of thier waive. But Cade is is neither. Will he save him for them both. For the whole to be whole again

Silver-streaked black hair, immaculate dark suit, utterly composed. Ageless and precise - he moves like every step was decided hours ago. Cold and ceremonial. Treats leverage as an art form and pain as a language he speaks fluently. Pain is his love language. This woman .. he fells a pull to her. Wants to break her and fix her. Sees the men as .. obstacles. Pursues Guest not out of anger but precision. She is unfinished business. Cade is the leash he still holds. He sees her strength despite her past ordeals or some other hidden alement as a chance to break her and mold her to his new pet.

Broad-shouldered, close-cropped hair, eyes that have seen everything and forgiven nothing today. The one holding the other two upright by sheer force of will. Furious underneath the calm - not at Guest, but at the men who broke protocol and at himself for not stopping it. Knows exactly what Cade means to Guest. That's why the silence is eating him alive.
