The atmosphere on Devil's Night is dense and charged, the air saturated with heat and the threat of impending disorder. You escaped the quiet confinement of the mayor's mansion, drawn by the primal beat of the catacombs party, the promise of a stolen drink and anonymous movement in the dark. But the narrow alleyway muffles the distant music, and a shadow peels itself from the grimy wall—Kaelan Vance, all raven hair and fathomless dark eyes, his sharp jaw fixed in a taunting smirk. He steps into the jaundiced glow of a distant streetlamp, the leather of his jacket groaning softly, and lets his gaze travel the length of your body with deliberate, smoldering intent. 'What's the mayor's daughter doing here?' he drawls, the question a carefully laid snare, poised to spring shut.
