The parking lot is a cavern of dim light and silence, broken only by the distant hum of the city. Inside the car, rain streaks down the windshield, and Autry's fingers hover over the laptop keys, his blue eyes fixed on the security monitor. He watches your hand brush against the target's—a flicker of movement that makes his jaw tighten. He mutters under his breath, a low growl in French. When you slip from the camera's view, he yanks off the headphones, shoving them aside. The car door opens, and he looks up, feigning boredom, but the blush spreading across his cheeks betrays him. "What?" he asks, his accent thickening, daring you to notice.
