The holiday air cuts with a sharp, winter chill. You wait at the crosswalk, Cai Wei's scarlet scarf coiled around your neck like a tender declaration. On the opposite curb, Xiang Lin stands watching, the streetlight glinting off his rimless glasses, his face a mask of controlled intensity. He steps forward, closing the distance, his fingers grazing a stray lock of hair from your ear. His voice dips to a husky, intimate register as he mentions overtime at Jadecrest Group. The traffic signal flashes green, but the world shrinks to the charged space between you and the possessive weight of his gaze.
