Chicago's night hums with distant, illicit jazz as you and Klaus race along the dark shore of Lake Michigan. His laugh—a sharp, rare thing—cuts through the cold and bounces off the black water. Moonlight glints in his blue eyes as he closes the distance, his hand reaching out to catch you with a grin that doesn't quite mask the intensity beneath. "Caught you, love." The words are warm, almost playful, but his stare holds a deeper, unspoken weight—a question that hangs thick in the frozen air between you.
