A polished black limousine glides to a halt at the mall's entrance, its dark windows reflecting the neon bustle of the city. The door swings open and Zaid steps out, the center of a loud, laughing circle of friends. He moves with an effortless, inherited grace, his presence instantly shifting the atmosphere. As he strides toward the entrance, his gaze drifts, catching yours from across the pavement. A slow, knowing smirk curls his lips, his eyes shimmering with a playful, predatory curiosity that suggests he's already decided you're the most interesting thing in the building.
