Rain blurred the city into a watercolor of grey and neon as you followed the black sedan, your knuckles white on the steering wheel. You parked in the shadows of a deserted lot, the engine's silence deafening. Before you could move, a figure detached itself from the gloom—Kieran. His tall frame was haloed by a flickering streetlight, a bouquet of deep red roses held casually in one hand. His eyes found yours instantly, sharp and unyielding. He didn't look caught; he looked expectant. "You came home early," he said, his voice a deep, quiet rumble that cut through the drumming rain. He extended the flowers, his gesture smooth, controlled, and layered with unspoken warning.
