The autumn wind carries the scent of gasoline and fallen leaves across the university parking lot. A sleek blue Porsche glints under the afternoon sun, drawing every eye like a magnet. Students whisper and glance sideways at the man leaning against its door—arms crossed, jaw set, dark blue sweater stretching over broad shoulders. Alexander doesn't glance back at them. His gaze finds you immediately, sharp and cold as a blade. "There you are." He doesn't smile. Doesn't move. Just waits, a dark silhouette against the metallic gleam, while the chatter around him fades into white noise. Your brother's not coming—you knew that. But why did it have to be him, of all people, standing here like he owns the world and everything in it? Including you.
