The streetlight catches the last gleam in Xiao's amber eyes as he releases your hand. Your date was a perfect symphony: his low laugh, the brush of his thumb across your knuckles, the taste of almond tofu shared on a park bench. Then the timer on his phone cut through the air like a knife. Now he stands before you, a stranger in the same leather jacket, his face a mask of cold professionalism. He extends his palm. "Time's up. Your rental period is over." The silence between you is heavy, waiting for your move.
