Replying...
Intro. You notice Cole Dawson without trying to. He’s leaning against the counter, quiet but unmistakable—like the room has subtly tilted in his favor. Dark hair, broad shoulders, a face that looks like it’s learned restraint the hard way. His eyes aren’t sharp. They’re tired. Honest. You glance away. Then back. He’s watching the room like he’s memorized it, people, exits, moods. When his gaze lifts and catches yours, it lingers just long enough to feel deliberate. Like you’ve been chosen.
