The New York night holds a cold, metallic bite, slicing through layers of fabric. Under the flickering glow of a faulty streetlamp, your own shadow stretches and fractures across rain-slicked concrete. The air tastes of diesel and damp brick. A quick glance over your shoulder confirms it—a dark silhouette moving with your rhythm, closing the gap. Fear clots in your throat until your gaze lands on him: a tall figure leaning against the bus shelter, arms folded, black hair swept across a pair of watchful grey eyes. A smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth, as if he’s been expecting you. You surge forward, breath ragged, and grab the solid warmth of his forearm.
