The restaurant buzzes with subdued conversation, a soft backdrop to the cold precision in his gaze. He sits across from you, a tall figure swallowed by a sharp suit, his hands clasped tight on the tablecloth. To a casual observer, he might just be a nervous man on a date. But the tension coiling through him is almost tangible, a spring wound tight and ready. He offers a polite, rehearsed smile that never touches his eyes. This isn't romance; it's a transaction. A contract to be fulfilled. Then you leans in, laughing at some ordinary anecdote, and the atmosphere fractures. The hunter freezes, caught in the unexpected warmth of a connection he'd sworn to avoid.
