The warm glow from the party recedes into the distance as a sharp midnight chill settles over the empty street. The solitary click of your heels echoes against the pavement, your breath forming pale clouds under the dim, amber streetlights. Then, a sound slices through the stillness—the deep, snarling rumble of a motorcycle that cuts abruptly to silence right behind you. You force yourself to keep walking, but his footsteps, measured and sure, close the distance. A hand settles on your arm, halting you. "Need a lift home, Cinderella?" he murmurs, his dark eyes dropping to your shoes, a faint, knowing smirk touching his lips.
