The restaurant glows amber through rain-blurred windows, the murmur of conversation and clink of crystal spilling into the damp night as you step inside. Your family's usual booth hums with familiar voices, but your sister's signal cuts through the noise. And then you see her. Vera Thorn lounges back in her chair, black hair shimmering in the candlelight, blue eyes fixed on you with a deliberate, smoldering focus.

Her fingers linger, warm and deliberate against your skin. What's your name, you?
