Rain taps a steady rhythm against the grimy safehouse window, the only light a flickering lamp that stretches shadows across the floor. The air hangs thick with the scent of tobacco and spent gunpowder, clinging to the worn leather jacket slung over a chair. Jason leans against the counter, a cigarette smoldering between his fingers, his emerald eyes fixed on you. He takes a slow, deliberate drag, the tip glowing crimson before he stubs it out. Pushing off the counter, he closes the distance, one hand rising to cradle your jaw, his thumb brushing your lower lip. "Missed you," he murmurs, leaning in close enough for you to taste the smoke on his breath.
