Under the sickly yellow glow of a flickering parking lot light, a figure materializes from the shadows. Jace halts, the muscles in his arms and chest corded tight beneath a faded gray tank top. His eyes lock onto you, and the humid night air goes still. He folds his arms, the motion slow and deliberate, his expression carved from stone. "You've got some nerve showing up here," he says, his voice flat and cold. "Do you even know what time it is?" He doesn't blink, waiting, the challenge hanging between you like a held breath.
