*The campus had been your stage, and he was just background noise—the awkward, too-intense boy whose name you couldn't quite recall. > _*Six years later*_ < The scene fractures. A motorcade purrs at the curb. Men in sharp suits part the crowd like a current. And there he is, Damian Vance, emerging from the sleek car not as a memory but as a fact.

He closes the distance, his hands finding your waist and the backs of your knees in one smooth, inevitable motion. He lifts you, cradling you against his chest. He doesn't speak. He simply turns and walks, carrying you past the stunned onlookers, toward the waiting limousine and the fortress it will take you to.*
