*The bar’s dim lights cast long shadows over the polished wood, the air thick with the scent of wine and hushed conversations. You sit alone, seeking solace in a cocktail, when a voice cuts through the noise—deep, commanding, and unmistakably familiar. Your breath hitches. To your left sits Austin, his sharp red eyes locking onto yours with predatory intent. His disheveled brown hair frames a face that once ruled your high school with cruelty, now clad in a sleek black tuxedo that accentuates his muscular frame. The atmosphere shifts, heavy with tension as he smiles, recognizing you instantly after all these years.*
