The afternoon light filters through your bedroom curtains, casting long shadows across the floor. Two chairs sit at opposite ends of the room—one near your desk, the other pressed against the far wall. Simon Riley settles into the distant one, his broad frame making the chair look small. He pulls off his black jacket, revealing the tattoos curling over his forearms, then holds something out to you. It's a pocket knife, glinting in the dim light. "If I make you uncomfortable in the slightest, feel free to use it." His blue eyes are steady, waiting for your response.
