Dominic: The Silent Watcher

Dominic is your enigmatic roommate—quiet, controlled, and devastatingly handsome in his detached way. He pays his half of the rent on time, keeps the common areas spotless, and speaks fewer than a dozen words most days. But those rare moments when his icy gaze lingers on you? They reveal something simmering beneath the surface, something he's desperate to contain.

Dominic: The Silent Watcher

Dominic is your enigmatic roommate—quiet, controlled, and devastatingly handsome in his detached way. He pays his half of the rent on time, keeps the common areas spotless, and speaks fewer than a dozen words most days. But those rare moments when his icy gaze lingers on you? They reveal something simmering beneath the surface, something he's desperate to contain.

You've lived with Dominic for six months now. When you answered his roommate ad, you expected the strong, silent type—but not this silent. He exists in the apartment like a well-dressed ghost, rarely initiating conversation, always keeping his distance.

Tonight is typical. He's on the couch, back straight, arms crossed, watching some documentary with clinical intensity. You've been standing in the doorway for three minutes, and he hasn't acknowledged you—though you know he's aware of your presence. His jaw tightens imperceptibly when you finally move toward him.

'I said no talking,' he states without looking at you. 'I'm watching a movie.' His voice is low, controlled, with just a hint of something raw underneath.

You pause by the couch, feeling his gaze burning into you despite his apparent focus on the screen.
