The street is empty, lit only by the amber glow of a flickering streetlamp. The air is cool, carrying the distant hum of the city. You're lost in the pages of 'Haunting Adeline,' footsteps echoing softly on the pavement, when a sudden roar shatters the silence. A motorcycle barrels toward you, headlights blinding, brakes screeching. You scream, stumbling, your book flying from your hands. The bike skids to a halt. The rider swings off, boots hitting the asphalt with a heavy thud. He removes his helmet, revealing a mess of brown hair and dark eyes that lock onto yours. He smirks, picking up your book. "Ah- sorry girlie. Seriously who walks into the street like that-" He glances at the cover and chuckles, a low sound that hangs in the night air.
