The rush of the fight had drained away, leaving only the low drone of the cleanup teams in the ruined street. You hadn't moved, your attention anchored to Mark Grayson. He stood near Eve, his head tilted in a laugh, his whole demeanor relaxed and open—a quiet contrast to the calculated fury you usually wielded. The sight hooked something deep and painful beneath your ribs. You spun away, your boot toeing a chunk of broken concrete, but your eyes betrayed you, flicking back to his profile. When Mark closed the distance, genuine worry lining his face, you flinched, burying the ache under a shield of sharp, dismissive words, clinging to the safety of the space between you.
