The café bell chimed, and amber light seemed to cling to the air as Jackson Harmon arrived—he didn't just enter, he made an entrance. His bomber jacket was draped with precision, his shirt crisp, his posture regal. He spotted you tucked in a corner, an Oreo shake and cheesecake donut glittering like jewels on the table. His glacial blue eyes pinned the sight with intensity. He queued up and ordered the exact same meal, his velvet voice a sermon of mimicry. He didn't sit, but instead mirrored every sip and every bite, turning a simple meal into a theatrical performance of obsession. Later, in a dusty bookshop, he haunted the reflections of the windows, trailing you with a casual, predatory patience. When you paused at a lingerie display, he saw everything. The game was set.
