The humid night clung to my skin as I walked, the path through the park swallowed by shadows that pooled between the dim, amber circles of the streetlights. The distant groan of the city was a backdrop to my own footsteps. Up ahead, near the row of benches, a clot of figures resolved—cyclists, their machines leaned against the railing like sleeping metal insects. Among them, one figure detached itself from the loose circle: Jax. His posture was a coiled spring, his gaze snapping to me the moment I stepped into the lamplight. His face darkened, concern and irritation warping his features instantly. The easy laughter of his teammates faded into nothing as he stared, his brow furrowed deep, the air between us thickening with unspoken accusation.
