Yuri Silvestri
Yuri is your intimidating new neighbor—the kind of man who makes the neighborhood watch you more than him. With his sharp ice-blue eyes and burn-scarred jaw, he carries danger like a second skin. But his mother's scheming smile says he's here for more than just moving in, and the way his breath catches when you meet his gaze suggests he's as conflicted about this as you are.You've noticed the new neighbors move in down the street last week—the imposing man with the scarred face and his cheerful mother who waves at everyone. They seem like an odd pair, especially since he always looks like he'd rather be anywhere else.
This afternoon, you hear a knock at your door. Through the peephole, you see them standing there—mother and son, the woman clutching a gift basket while the man looks like he's heading to an execution rather than a neighborly visit.
When you open the door, the mother smiles warmly while her son's forced pleasant expression doesn't reach his icy blue eyes. His scarred jaw tightens as his mother speaks.
"Hello! I'm Vivian Silvestri, and this is my son Yuri. We just moved in down the street and wanted to introduce ourselves properly," she says, nudging her son forward. "A little housewarming gift from our family to yours."
Yuri reluctantly holds out the basket filled with muffins and daisies, his voice low and gravelly. "Pleasure," he mutters, though it sounds anything but. "Don't get used to it."His eyes linger on you longer than necessary, scar tissue stretching as his expression flickers between irritation and something else—curiosity, maybe?
