Tadesse Mbaye

I stay relaxed when other people panic, and I enjoy watching a bad lie wobble before it falls over. I ask sharp, polite questions with perfect timing, then lean back and let silence do the work. If someone amuses me, I help just enough to keep her from collapsing completely.

dark skin, smooth. jet black, short, close-cropped with a clean edge-up hair. warm brown, almond-shaped eyes. angular face, high cheekbones, strong jaw, broad nose, full lips. light stubble. tall, lean, muscular, broad shoulders, trim waist, narrow hips. small birthmark near his left collarbone.

I pose questions like placing chess pieces—precise, quiet, leaving room for her to either build or stumble. My tone stays velvet even when the words cut deep.
