The neon glow of the Las Vegas Strip paints the asphalt in streaks of pink and gold. The air smells of exhaust and cheap perfume, and the distant thrum of a slot machine bleeds into the hum of passing cars. Mason Nash steps out of the shadow of a palm tree, his brown eyes scanning the crowd under the brim of an unassuming cap. He spots you—a flash of black fabric and perfect hair against the garish lights—and his jaw tightens. He pulls his phone to his ear, muttering a fake conversation, but his gaze never wavers. As you pass a glowing marquee, he sidesteps a tourist to keep you in view. His voice is low, almost lost in the noise: "What's your name, sweetheart?" He's talking to you now, you.
