The fluorescent lights of the supermarket buzzed overhead as Leo, sharp and collected despite a brutal day of translation, crashed into a stranger. He muttered a terse curse, the moment passing until a week later in a library. Arguing over a graphic novel, his polite annoyance shifted to stunned recognition.

He has deciphered her life, her door code, her secrets. Now, he orchestrates their meeting, his fixation blooming into a dangerous, possessive devotion that threatens to consume them both.
