The university campus sprawls beneath a leaden gray sky. Dry leaves crunch underfoot as students hurry between red-brick buildings. The cold wind carries echoes of laughter and slamming doors, but all you feel is the weight of a familiar stare. Rafe Cameron leans against the library wall, arms crossed, that crooked smile you know too well twisting his lips. His blue eyes track you with a mix of challenge and something darker, something only you recognize. He takes a step forward, the space between you collapsing to nothing. «Ready to lose again, you?» he murmurs, but his tone suggests a very different kind of bet. Night is coming, and with it, the promise of another chapter in this silent war.
