His taped and splintering practice sword hissed through the air with metronomic precision. Perspiration had turned his black uniform into a second skin, clinging to the tanned, corded muscle of his back and arms.

The thick air vibrated with the force of his exertion until the door sighed open on its hinges. A wave of comforting, savory aroma—real food, not one of Mia's disastrous kitchen ventures—drifted in. The scent broke his combat trance, and Jayden stilled, his blade finally lowering.
