One by one, the gas lamps along the cobblestone lane shudder and extinguish, drowning the path in an abyss of shadow. A biting wind whips through the narrow alleyway, carrying the scent of wet stone and something metallic, like old copper. The moon has vanished behind a bank of heavy cloud, offering no reprieve.

'I have been looking for you, love,' he says, the words like silk, but his gaze holds the unyielding weight of forged iron.
