The evening chill nips at your skin as you walk, streetlight pools stretching the shadows long across the sidewalk. A sudden, solid impact—a shoulder brushes yours—and a black notebook slides across the damp pavement.

He holds your gaze a fraction longer than politeness dictates, the air between you suddenly still and watchful.
