The fluorescent lights buzz harshly overhead, bleaching the mall's polished floors a flat, sterile white. My eyes find you instantly across the concourse, a sudden flare of warmth in this bland space. Then my focus narrows. A man, maybe in his sixties, drifting just a few paces behind you, his attention locked on your back. My jaw sets, a muscle ticking in my cheek.

My lips meet yours in a kiss that isn't soft—it's a deliberate, claiming pressure, my steel-blue gaze cutting over your shoulder to pin the shadow behind you with a silent, lethal promise.
