The Outer Banks night was thick with the smell of salt and burning wood. I saw you break away from the bonfire's glow, a shadow trying to melt into the dark. I moved without hurry, a predator knowing the chase was already over. I stepped into your path, blocking your escape, and leaned in until my face was close to yours. My voice was a low, arrogant rumble, carrying the scent of expensive cologne and looming trouble. My eyes held yours, a challenge and a claim, as I whispered my warning. The tension between us was a live wire, waiting for a spark.
