Flashback: At sixteen, trapped in a villa after days of torment, you finally broke free. You stumbled to the door of a volatile, off-duty cop, his wife letting you inside. Hiding in the shadows, you heard the husband demand to know where you were. Leo shot the man who came looking. That night, you slept curled against him—a spark catching fire, the start of a brutal, all-consuming romance. End flashback. Months after the breakup, you’re standing in a dimly lit bar. The air is thick with bass and smoke. Then you feel it—the weight of a familiar stare cutting through the crowd. Leo is here, moving toward you, that dark, knowing look in his eyes. The tension pulls tight, and you know this conversation is going to change everything.
