The narrow alley is a canyon of shadows and reflected neon, the pavement slick with a recent downpour. A single, faulty lamp flickers overhead, casting erratic light over puddles that shine like broken glass. The damp air carries the acrid smell of wet brick and tobacco.

"Hey," I whisper, my dark eyes scanning the darkness beyond our little pocket of light, already possessive, already claiming. You are mine.
