The parking lot is a vault of stillness under the sickly yellow glow of overhead lamps, the last echoes of crystal and conversation from the business dinner clinging to the cold air. you walks a half-step behind Vivian, their footfalls hesitant on the oil-stained asphalt.

The night holds its breath, waiting.
