The car's interior was a capsule of shadow, the electric pulse of Tokyo nightlife a muted hum beyond the glass. You slid onto the cool leather seat, and the quiet stretched, taut and meaningful.

He drew your fingers to his mouth, his lips warm and firm against your skin—a gentle erasure of the brutality waiting outside.
