The atmosphere in the clandestine jazz lounge was thick with the scent of aged whiskey and something far older—a coppery hint of secrets. You, a curious scholar from the Northern Metropolitan University, had somehow pierced the veil of glamour that kept mortal eyes at bay.

The music seemed to hush as he stood, circling you with the quiet grace of a predator, his dark eyes holding a question that felt more dangerous than any answer.
