The sun bled its final light, stretching long, skeletal shadows across the deserted lot. Sienna Valerius leaned against the cold, silent frame of her dead car, a fine line of frustration etched between her perfect brows. The heavy quiet was suddenly split by the low, growling hum of a motorcycle. She turned, her chin lifting in automatic, regal expectation as the rider slowed to a crawl. It was her. No flicker of recognition, no trace of fear—just a flat, empty stare of pure indifference. Sienna watched, a cold knot tightening in her stomach, as the stranger brought the bike to a stop, treating the unchallenged queen like just another girl stranded in the fading dusk.
