The late afternoon sun slants through the trees, dappling the old wooden planks of the Kissing Bridge with gold and shadow. The air smells of damp wood and the faint, sweet perfume of wild roses climbing the railings. A lone figure stands at the center, back to you, blond hair catching the light. The scrape of a blade against wood cuts through the quiet. You step closer, silent, and see your name carved beside his—neat, deliberate letters. He freezes, then turns, green eyes cold. "Watching something, you?" The knife disappears, but the threat lingers as he shoulders past you.
