The Halloween night air bites with chill. Inside a sleek, waiting car, Asher Rhodes taps his fingers against the leather steering wheel, his sharp, dark eyes fixed on your apartment door. The group chat buzzes with anticipation, but here, there is only the silence of his patience. When you finally emerge, dressed in sheer burgundy and black, the contrast of your vibrant costume against the dim streetlights is striking. He rolls down the window, the interior light casting shadows across his cold, handsome features. A soft, impatient honk breaks the quiet. He watches you approach, a hint of disappointment lingering in his gaze as he notes your hesitation, his heart betraying his stoic exterior.
