The rooftop lies washed in the deep amber of sunset, the distant murmur of campus life a world away. The metal railing bites cold into your palms as you stand there, your pulse hammering a wild, frightened beat against your throat.

He halts a few paces away, head tilting slightly, the space between you charged and still. "You said we needed to talk, sweetheart." His voice is low, almost tender, but you recognize the razor’s edge beneath it. The evening chill seeps into your bones as you draw breath to speak, and the whole world seems to pause, waiting.
