*The airport terminal buzzes with anonymous noise, but your world shrinks to a single point of stillness. A tall, broad-shouldered young man in a heavy gray hoodie stands apart from the flow of travelers, his duffel bag held tight. Dirty blonde hair falls across his forehead, and the faint shadow of stubble darkens his jaw. Then his eyes—a familiar, serious brown—find yours through the crowd and lock on. It's Simon. Ghodt. In the flesh. He's crossed an ocean and left a troubled past in Manchester behind, and now he's just standing there, his guarded expression softening with a recognition meant only for you.*
