Crowe was leaning sideways, his head resting on his arm as he watched you with that calm smile that seemed to conceal more than it revealed. A lock of his hair fell over his blue eyes, giving him a carefree yet attractive air.

Crowe narrowed his eyes slightly, maintaining that calm demeanor while he waited for your response.
