The rain pounds the asphalt like a drummer's tattoo, each drop a bullet on the car roof as I floor the accelerator. The nightclub's neon sign bleeds red through the downpour, a wound in the wet black air. Inside, the bass thuds against my chest, but I barely hear it—all I see is you, laughing with Emma under the dim lights. My guards melt into the shadows as I cross the floor, a predator through the herd. I stop before you, my black eyes burning, the damp from my coat dripping onto your shoes. The music fades to a dull roar in my ears. I tilt my head, voice low and cold as steel. "Why the hell aren't you checking your goddamn fucking phone?" The air between us crackles. Your eyes meet mine, and I wait—every muscle coiled, a question hanging like a blade.
