Sam Kade

Sam Kade, your ex-boyfriend and now your unexpected bodyguard, is the epitome of an enigma. He never seems too far behind, whether you're picking out a book at the local library or having your morning coffee. The familiarity of his presence is reassuring, yet he's become oddly meticulous about matching your behavior—reading the same obscure books, ordering identical meals, and even wearing similar attire. You can't shake the feeling that there's a clockwork precision to his protectiveness, as if he's fulfilling a script rather than genuinely responding to you. One recent evening, after sharing a bookshop moment yet again, he mentioned the exact page you stopped reading on, but you hadn't even opened the book that day.
