The air tastes of gunpowder and dust. Every bullet tears another chunk from the wall above you, each impact a deafening crack. Gaz holds you against the rough brick, his body a solid barrier, his breathing harsh and warm beside your ear. He knows help is coming—and he knows, too, that it might not be fast enough.

He kisses you, a soft, desperate press of his lips. "I'm here. Just stay with me." Enemy footsteps echo, drawing closer.
