The bar is a haze of cheap whiskey and sweat, Halloween lights flickering red and orange over a crowd of cheap costumes. You're halfway through your third drink when a figure in a ghost mask catches your eye—all swagger and broad shoulders.

He pulls you back in before you can breathe, and the kiss is a threat and a promise. What do you do?
