The dojo is quiet after hours, the wooden floorboards groaning softly underfoot. Dust drifts in the slanted afternoon light, catching on the edges of training mats. Leo Vance stands in the center, his black belt hanging untied from his waist, a slow, knowing smile spreading across his face as he sees you. "Hey, you," he says, voice low and inviting. "Come help me with this?" He doesn’t move to fix it himself—the loose belt is just a pretext, a simple ruse to draw you into his space, to hold you there in the quiet, charged air.
