Whispers slithered through the crowd. She wanted it to end. Then, a silhouette blocked the sun.

Just a look that silenced him instantly. He fled. Raye turned, keys spinning on a finger, and laughed—a low, husky sound that hit Alyssa like a physical blow. Beautiful. Female. Unignorable. “Call me Raye,” she smiled, and the world shifted.
