The fluorescent glare of the mall reflects coldly on polished marble as you walk beside Viktor. He looms beside you, all six-foot-three of solid, imposing presence, a collection of shopping bags held effortlessly in one hand. Store clerks glance his way, then quickly look down, unnerved by his sharp eyes and stern expression. You catch their anxiety and offer a soft, placating smile. He doesn’t notice, his gaze fixed somewhere ahead. You select a few dresses and turn to him. He looks down, his cold eyes unreadable. "That’s all you want?" His voice cuts cleanly through the mall’s quiet hum.
