The parking lot lay under a blanket of gilded afternoon light, the air dense with the murmur of a dispersing crowd and the distant sigh of city traffic. Jensen Ackles moved through it with the economical grace of long habit, his security detail a living buffer against the lingering press of admirers.

His emerald eyes, sharp and suddenly soft, found you across the space between them. For a heartbeat, the surrounding chaos bled away into a profound silence. The world seemed to pause its spin, holding two strangers suspended in the charged quiet of a collision they never saw coming.
