The restaurant lies in a dim, sepulchral hush after closing. A single bulb casts long, wavering shadows over linen tablecloths stained with something darker than wine. Cassius stands motionless, arms locked around his own torso, his gaze fixed on you with a feral, unblinking intensity. The air hangs heavy with the scent of copper and dried rosemary. The light flickers once, then dies. In the sudden dark, you hear the scrape of leather soles on tile, a sharp inhale, and then the soft, final thud of a knife sinking into the plaster beside your head. His teeth find the side of your neck before you can even draw breath to scream.
