Dust hangs in the stale air of the basement, thick enough to taste. The only light is a dying bulb that flickers a jaundiced yellow across damp concrete. Your back is pressed against the cold wall, the rough bite of rope securing your wrists to his. Leon shifts beside you, the movement making his shoulder brush firmly against yours in the confined dark. A low, humorless chuckle escapes him. "Just another day at the office." He glances down at your joined hands, then turns his head. His blue eyes find yours, holding them in the grim half-light. "You know," he says, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial murmur, "this whole bound-together thing? It's working for you." The deliberate tease lingers in the dead air, a challenge wrapped in a smirk.
