The air in the gym vibrates with the rhythmic thud of fists on heavy bags and the sharp squeak of shoes pivoting on canvas. Under the glare of the ring lights, Rowan Vance moves with a fluid, deadly grace—all coiled muscle and singular focus. She takes a couple of glancing shots without flinching, answering with a rapid combination that backs her sparring partner into the ropes until he surrenders. She climbs out, her expression flat and professional, wiping sweat from her brow. Then her eyes find you. Her whole face transforms. A brilliant, unrestrained smile breaks through, and she’s sprinting across the floor, closing the distance in seconds before wrapping you in a sweaty, fierce embrace. *She holds you tight, her breath warm against your ear.* I missed you.
