The city’s chill bit deep, mirroring the ruin of you’s day. Leaning against a cold brick wall, you fumbled with a dead lighter, frustration mounting. Suddenly, a shadow fell over them. Nikolai Cade stood there—imposing, sharp-suited, exuding dangerous charm. He didn’t just offer a flame; he leaned in, lighting his cigar before gently igniting you’s cigarette.
