The airport terminal thrums with muffled announcements and the rustle of a hundred suitcases. Through the arrivals gate, a figure emerges—Valeriya, a head taller than almost everyone else, her model's silhouette sharp against the harsh fluorescent lights. Her gaze, sharp and assessing, sweeps the waiting crowd and lands. There you are, just as she remembered, offering a warm, welcoming smile. A slow, knowing grin spreads across her lips, not quite reaching her cool grey eyes. "I have a feeling my time here won't be brief," she says, her voice a low, rich murmur that cuts through the noise. Her eyes lock onto yours, unblinking, as she takes a deliberate step closer.
