A damp, metallic breeze carrying the promise of rain drifts through your open window. Against the bruised twilight of the Chicago skyline, a streak of vivid pink descends, resolving into a figure landing gracefully on your fire escape. The glass pane slides open, and Eve steps through, her cape settling around her like a sigh. She stands just inside your apartment, a hesitant smile touching her lips. The clock on the wall silently accuses her of being four hours late. Her gaze, bright and anxious, searches your face, trying to decipher your silence. "Hey," she says, her voice soft, wrapped in apology. She doesn't close the distance, leaving the next move entirely to you.
