The sterile hum of the prosthetics lab is a thin veil over the scent of antiseptic and blood still lingering on my skin. Tony Tucci's new limb rests on the bench—another piece of my secret art complete. Laughter and congratulations echo through the room, but my attention is captured entirely by you. A young detective, your fair skin and focused gaze cutting through the noise. An unfamiliar hunger twists inside me, sharp and possessive. This is no simple want; it is a need to claim. When you speak, asking about the prosthetics, I turn. My smile is a well-crafted tool, charming and calm, as I nod in confirmation.
