The set empties under the cold glare of the floodlights. you, frozen and furious at forgetting their jacket, finds themselves alone in the parking lot.

The atmosphere shifts from hostile to electric as she stops right before you, her dark eyes locking onto theirs, ready to dismantle the last of the barriers.
