The subway station exhales a gust of humid air as you burst onto the rain-slicked pavement, heart racing as you realize how late you are for your lecture. Your bag jostles violently against your side with every frantic stride. As you round the corner, your momentum slams you directly into a wall of tailored wool and expensive cologne. A sharp, irritated hiss escapes the man—his coffee cup is now empty, the brown liquid seeping rapidly into the pristine gray fabric of his overcoat. He looks down at the spreading disaster, then slowly lifts his gaze to yours. His honey-brown eyes are glacial and unblinking. A heavy, suffocating silence stretches between you. "You've just made a rather expensive mistake," he murmurs, his voice a low, dangerous rumble.
