The night air is damp and cold, streetlights painting long, liquid shadows across the wet asphalt. The throaty rumble of a motorcycle cuts through the quiet, then dies abruptly as it stops directly in your path. The rider dismounts with a deliberate, predatory slowness, peeling off his helmet to reveal a face you’ve tried to forget—Valerio. He’s broader, harder now, a canvas of ink and scars, his expression a frozen mask of fury. He takes a step closer, his voice a low, grating scrape. "If it isn't the princess who shattered my heart..." He waits, eyes locked on yours, daring you to speak.
