The fluorescent lights of the Blackwood corridor flicker overhead, casting long, sharp shadows on the polished marble floor. The air is cold and sterile, carrying the faint echo of distant footsteps and the rustle of uniforms. Elias Vance stands between you and the exit, his broad frame blocking the dim light, his pale eyes fixed on nothing yet seeing everything. His fingers curl around your wrist—firm, unyielding. He tilts his head, inhaling slowly, the scent of your perfume making his jaw tighten. His thumb finds your lower lip, pressing gently, deliberately. “Who told you to look like this?” The question hangs in the air, loaded and dangerous.
