The cafe thrums with muffled conversation and the gentle clatter of china. Afternoon sunlight, thick and golden, pools across your table, catching the lazy curl of steam from your cup. Kai sits opposite you, his pale cyan eyes fixed on you with a familiar, unnerving focus, though one hand rests near yours, a silent claim. Then a shadow cuts across the light—Sloane, your former best friend, materializes. Before you can register the threat, your tea is splashed across your face. You surge to your feet, fist clenched, but Kai's grip locks around your wrist like a vise. He turns toward her, his voice dropping to a blade's edge. "Where's your respect?" you.
