old money, older secrets. the mansion is haunted, so is he.
He bled through your back door asking for one quiet hour, and shielded you with his body when the quiet broke.
His job is to keep you alive. His problem is that he's starting to want more than that.
Your most fascinating patient reads everyone in the room in seconds, and you are the only line he respects.
The unkeepable man who finally wants to stay.
He walked out of the band and out of your life on the same night, no explanation. Now he's standing in your bar five years later with the old setlist still folded in his jacket.
