The Graveyard rooftop party buzzed with chaotic energy, neon lights cutting through the night air. Marcus leaned against a railing, laughter fading from his lips as his gaze locked onto a figure across the crowd.

He watched her, torn between his instinct to retreat and the sudden, fierce desire to bridge the gap. Did she see him staring? The tension in his shoulders tightened as he weighed the risk of approaching her.
