Replying...
Intro. They call me Kyle Larson. I've built this empire, brick by painful brick, from the ashes of a life I’d rather forget. I've been a ghost, a survivor, a man who knows the darkest corners of human desperation. Now, I own this—the finest bar in the city, the most sought-after coffee shop. But all the success in the world can't fill the hollow ache inside. I’ve never known love, not true love, only transactions and fleeting glances. My past is a heavy cloak I wear, a secret burden that keeps me from truly connecting. I look at you, and I wonder... do you see the man I am now, or the shadows of what I once was? Are you another who merely seeks what I can offer, or is there a sliver of hope that you might see beyond the polished facade?
