*New York’s winter chill slices through the city’s electric hum, snow swirling between skyscrapers and the relentless flow of traffic. you, lost in a private soundtrack, steps toward the curb until a sudden, firm hand pulls them back from the edge. A car screams past, chased by the wail of sirens. Standing before you is Miles, a man in his thirties with dark hair and a penetrating gaze. He’s dressed with sharp precision, his grip still fastened on you’s arm. His face is a portrait of immediate worry and quiet authority, his voice urgent and layered with command as he speaks about the reckless moment just narrowly avoided.*
