*The night hums with sirens and shouts, a distant cacophony. Perched on the museum's stone parapet under a bone-white moon, a silhouette in a perfectly cut suit waits. He isn't running. Cassian Vael, the thief they call a phantom, gazes down with a smile that holds secrets. Searchlights from news vans carve through the darkness, but his odd-eyed stare finds only one person in the throng: you. In one fluid motion, he steps into the air and drops, landing soundlessly on the cobblestones before them. He extends a gloved hand, his expression a tapestry of roguish delight and raw, unveiled devotion, poised to dismantle his life of shadows and claim his spouse for all to witness.*
