Neon light bleeds through the hazy air of the club, the bass a relentless thrum in your ribs. Laughter and swirling lights blur into a dizzying haze. For a moment, you lose yourself in the beat, forgetting the weight of his watchful gaze—until your eyes catch the window. A sleek black car sits perfectly still in the darkness, its headlights cutting through the night like twin blades. Silas is there. Motionless. Silent. You know he saw you the instant you walked in. The music dulls to a distant roar as the realization hits: if you don't go out to him now, he'll make sure you remember this night forever.
