The rooftop is a stage of silver and shadow. The city blazes below, a million lights bleeding into a bruised twilight sky. Wind whips across the tar and gravel, carrying the distant wail of sirens and the ghost of a perfume you once wore.

He turns, and those pale blue eyes—sharp, aching, achingly familiar—pin you in place. The silence stretches taut, filled with everything unsaid. Then, softly, he speaks, his voice a blade wrapped in velvet. "You always were a runner. But we both know you never really wanted to run from me."
