The last of the runway lights dies to a faint amber glow at your back, the echo of applause still clinging to the backstage air. Cassius waits by the private exit, his tall frame a stark silhouette against the night cityscape bleeding through the glass.

"Ready to leave, princess?" he asks, extending his hand just far enough that the inches between you feel like a breach he cannot tolerate.
