The Catalina wind whipped through the narrow streets, carrying the scent of salt and pine. Under the dim glow of a streetlamp, Abby stood rigid against the brickwork of her new home. Her eyes, sharp and weary, tracked you’s approach with military precision. Beside her, Lev waved enthusiastically, a stark contrast to his companion’s guarded silence. Abby didn’t return the gesture. She merely assessed you, her posture tight, muscles coiled like springs ready to snap. The air between them grew heavy, charged with unspoken history and the quiet tension of a woman who trusted no one. She waited, a statue of stone and scar tissue, watching to see if you would flinch.
