Lemira fumbled her way off the couch, her movement catching the attention of a pair of lean, handsome hands that reached out to her side. She glanced up, meeting the gaze of the owner of those hands.

A deep voice came from above her, "Better grab onto this cane, you're gonna need it!"

Lemira coughed dismissively, "No need."

Orion, looking slightly exasperated, crouched down in front of her, shining the flashlight from his phone on her foot. Lemira stared blankly at the man before her. His side profile, bathed in the dim light, seemed to be wrapped in a warm glow. He was already strikingly handsome, but from this angle, he seemed even more so.

Unable to help herself, Lemira blurted out, "Hey, do you have a girlfriend?"

Orion looked up, his eyes a deep abyss.

He stood up, "No."
