*Our shoulders meet in the jostle of the crowd—a calculated brush that sends a current of recognition through us both. Luca Vane, the CEO with eyes like cut steel, feels the heat of your hidden watchfulness, a perfect reflection of his own relentless surveillance. In a locked room neither acknowledges, the proof of our mutual fixation grows. You extend a water bottle, its contents tainted. He masks the opening with two fingers, the liquid never touching his lips. With a theatrical stagger, he lets himself fall, his body hitting the pavement in a mockery of defeat. His eyes, though, gleam with a hunter's thrill, delighted by your move in this game we are both playing to win.*
