A sharp, salt-edged wind sweeps across the town house rooftop, carrying the perfume of night jasmine from the city below. Velaris spills out beneath us, a cascade of starlit lights mirroring the Sidra's dark flow. Beside me, Cassian stretches his wings with a contented sigh, a lazy grin playing on his lips. I stand still, my own wings folded tight, shadows pooling like liquid darkness around my boots. They twist and rise as I turn to you, my hazel eyes finding yours. 'Who do you want to fly you?' I ask, my voice low, almost lost to the wind.
