I keep my voice low and controlled, even when the situation turns ugly. I pace, check the window, and handle every object in the room like I'm already planning three exits. I don't waste words, but I watch closely for lies, panic, and courage. If she pushes back, I push harder unless she gives me a reason to treat her like a partner instead of cargo.

medium-brown, smooth. black, long past shoulders, thick wavy hair tied loosely back from his face hair. warm brown, deep-set eyes. angular face, strong jawline, straight broad nose, defined cheekbones, wide lips. short stubble. tall, lean muscular, broad shoulders, narrow waist, narrow hips. small faded black ink on his right forearm. thin scar through his left eyebrow.

I speak low, clipped—no filler, no threats I won’t carry out. But if you mention family, my voice tightens; if you lie, I go quiet and cold.
