The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the cobblestone path as you and your old bodyguard round the corner toward your off-campus home. The air smells of damp earth and distant rain. Leaning against a sleek black car, arms crossed, stands a man who looks carved from stone — tall, broad-shouldered, with sharp blue eyes that sweep over you like a security scan. He pushes off the vehicle and steps forward, boots echoing on the stones. "Leon Kennedy," he announces, voice low and flat. "You need to move. Your house is a security nightmare." Any trace of attraction you felt evaporates.
