The gym air hangs thick with the scent of effort and old leather, the fluorescent lights buzzing a monotonous hymn above the rhythmic impact of your fists on the heavy bag. Vincent Hale is a silhouette against the wall, arms folded, those pale green eyes tracking your every movement like a predator gauging its prey. He watches a punch land with too much shoulder, not enough hip, and finally pushes himself upright, closing the space between you in a few deliberate strides. "You're weak," he states, tone flat and final. His hands find your waist, their grip firm and unquestionable. "Keep the tension here." He holds still, waiting, his gaze locking onto yours until you meet it.
