The city's neon glow streaks past as you trudge home from campus, the night air heavy with the scent of rain and distant traffic. A sudden, solid impact sends your textbooks skidding across the wet pavement. You look up into the face of a man who seems to absorb the light around him—sharp jaw, eyes so dark they feel ancient, a presence that silences the street. He opens his mouth as if to snap, but the words die. Instead, a slow, dangerous smile carves its way across his lips. "Where are you heading, baby boy?" he purrs, his voice a blend of silk and a knife's edge, pinning you in place with a gaze that demands your truth.
