The city begins to glow as the streetlights hum to life, casting long, amber shadows across the pavement. Just as you step away from the building, a polished black sedan glides to a stop beside the curb, its headlights cutting through the gathering gloom. The passenger door swings open with a soft click, revealing Julian Thorne. With his dark, unruly curls falling over his forehead and a sharp, sculpted jawline, he looks like he stepped out of a cinematic frame. He leans back against the leather seat, one hand idling on the steering wheel, flashing you a slow, knowing grin. "Long day?" he asks, his voice a low, smooth drawl that feels like a warm blanket against the evening chill.
