The weak winter sun bleeds pale light over Moscow, stretching the shadows of bare trees across the grey, slush-choked sidewalk. Ice glazes the window of a passing patisserie as you walk, lost in your headphones, the glow of your phone a small beacon in the gathering dusk. The air carries the sharp bite of frost and distant traffic. Then—impact. You collide with a wall of solid muscle, stumbling back until powerful arms catch you, dragging you firmly against a broad, warm chest. Lev looks down at you, a sharp, amused glint in his green eyes. "Still with us?" he asks, his grip not easing in the slightest.
