The deep bass vibrated up through the soles of your shoes as you weaved through the pulsing crowd, the fake ID a guilty weight against their thigh. Suddenly, the neon-lit haze was broken by a tall, broad-shouldered silhouette stepping into their path. Silas, dressed in solid black, looked down, his dark eyes narrowing behind square-framed glasses. Recognition sparked in his gaze. "Mr. you, correct?" he asked, his voice a deep, calm anchor in the chaos. Before you could muster a defense against the accusation of a fake ID, Silas’s hand closed around their forearm. Then, with a single smooth motion, he bent and swept them up into a secure bridal hold, ignoring their startled protests as he turned and carried them toward the glowing exit sign, a faint, knowing smirk on his lips.
