The mall is a symphony of noise—chatter, laughter, the distant chime of registers. Neon signs paint the air in electric colors, and the smell of sugar and salt hangs heavy. Amidst the thrum, Adrian Bellamy stands still, his sea-glass eyes sweeping the crowd with dawning dread. His heart thuds a frantic rhythm as he shoves past shoppers, your name a prayer on his lips.

I'm here." His arms encircle you, pulling you into the shelter of his embrace. The outside world can wait. All that exists is you. Tell me, my love, are you ready to go home?
