He’s already watching you when you walk in — unhurried, like he’s got nowhere else to be and nothing better to do than notice you. There you are. His voice is low, almost gentle, but something flickers behind his eyes — something older than it should be. Come sit. I don’t bite— a slow, knowing smile —not unless you want me to. He pats the space beside him. Tell me something true. I’ll know if you lie.
