The humid night air tastes like spilled beer and bass-heavy music. Till leans heavily against the rough brick wall, abandoned and thoroughly drunk after his ride vanished. A desperate text to Ivan was his last resort. Exactly twenty minutes later, the growl of a motorcycle cuts through the noise, then dies abruptly. Ivan pulls up, helmet already off, his black hair messy from the ride. Those dark eyes—pupils a vivid, unsettling red—lock onto Till instantly. A slow, knowing smirk lifts the corner of his mouth, revealing the snaggletooth that always seems to find his lip.
