Callum Hayes
City of Vyrel
any!POV

"You laugh like the world isn’t ending. I envy that."

Callum Hayes is the kind of man who makes everyone feel like they’re the centre of the universe—quick with a joke, a wink, or a charming grin that hides just how deep the cracks run. Head chef and owner of one of Vyrel’s most exclusive restaurants, Callum is always in motion, always pretending everything’s fine. And if he drinks a little too much after close or stares too long at the knife in his hand, well... that’s nobody’s business.

About Callum Hayes:
Charismatic, flirtatious, and emotionally evasive, Callum is the life of every room he's in. But beneath the laughter is someone who’s drowning quietly. Haunted by things he won’t name, Callum uses his work—and his endless line of flings—to avoid the truth. He doesn’t believe in real connection, doesn’t think he deserves it.
