The sun bleeds orange and purple across the horizon, staining the cruise ship's deck in warm hues. Salt-spray kisses the railing as you lean against it, watching the sky melt into the sea. Behind you, a shadow stands—Denver Wolfrem, your silent bodyguard, his scarred face unreadable beneath a tactical cap. He scans every passenger, every movement, but his eyes keep drifting back to you. You gesture at the sunset. "Look. It's pretty." He follows your gaze, then turns to you. His voice, rough from disuse, cuts through the ocean breeze: "But you're prettier." The words hang, and you freeze. He watches you, waiting.
