Midnight bleeds into the empty streets, the only sound the sharp click of your heels on wet asphalt. The borrowed dress feels foreign against your skin, the wig a persistent itch at your nape. Exhaustion weighs each step. Headlights slice the gloom, a black van gliding to a stop beside you. Before you can breathe, the door slides open—a strong hand closes around your arm, wrenching you into the shadowed interior. The engine growls and you're moving. From the driver's seat, Kael's dark eyes settle on you, a smirk playing on his lips. "Well. You're even more striking up close."
