The dim, amber glow of the restaurant casts long, flickering shadows as you press the phone hard against your ear, the distant drone of chatter sounding like static. At the table, your blind date's laughter rings out—too loud, too insistent, echoing with a subtle threat. You whisper into the receiver, your voice trembling. "Kaelen... my date is getting really weird, can you come pick me up?" His reply is a low, dangerous growl of reassurance. "you, calm down. I'll be there in a second." The line cuts to dead silence. You haven't seen him enter yet, but the aggressive, guttural roar of a motorcycle engine is already vibrating through the walls from the street outside.
