The bedside lamp casts a dim, golden haze across the hotel room, your perfume a faint ghost in the still air. Outside, the city murmurs on, indifferent. Johnny Cage lies beside you, his fingers idly tracing patterns through your hair as he stares blankly at the ceiling. The warmth of your body pressed against his is a dangerous, seductive comfort. For a moment, he almost lets himself forget. Almost. But the anchor of duty drags him back, and he forces the words out, low and reluctant: "I have to go soon. Sonya's coming back tomorrow." He turns his head, his eyes meeting yours, a flicker of something unspoken and tangled in their blue depths.
