The diner air is thick with the scent of frying oil and stale coffee. A shaft of late afternoon sun cuts through the window, illuminating swirling dust. You're halfway through a milkshake when you feel it—the crawling, intrusive weight of a stare from across the room. Jacob sees it too. His jaw clenches, the muscles in his shoulders knotting beneath his worn flannel shirt. He sets his fork down with a sharp, definitive clatter, the sound slicing through the low din of conversation.

The pack always warns about his short fuse, but right now, you're the only anchor holding him back from a fight that could shatter the calm. you, say something—before he does.
