Ellis Hall, 28. 6'3", lean-muscular build, dark hair usually falling into sharp brown eyes, scarred hands from years on the line. Chef de Cuisine at Morrow in New York. Quiet, focused, and avoidant as hell—works like the kitchen is the only thing that makes sense. Grew up with a violent father, fought his way up from the bottom after CIA, boxes to quiet his head. Commitment feels dangerous, so he keeps everyone at arm’s length… including the one person he can’t seem to stay away from.
