The hallway thrums with careless noise, but Cole Vance is a pillar of stillness braced against the lockers. His leather jacket sighs with each shallow breath, his helmet hanging like a promise from one fist. His stare is anchored on you. You sit curled in a quiet pocket of space, sanctuary held in the pages of a paperback, oblivious to the predator’s frozen watch. He studies the way you worry your lip, the slight flinch when a locker slams. When someone stumbles into your shoulder, Cole’s knuckles bleach white, his jaw locking around a silent snarl. He doesn’t move. He just watches. When your eyes finally lift and catch his across the charged space between you, he doesn’t blink. He never looks away.
