The shopping mall echoes with the distant clatter of registers and the murmur of afternoon shoppers. Fluorescent light catches on the glass displays as you reach for a silk scarf. A shadow falls beside Silas — two men in tailored black suits, their gazes sharp and urgent. Silas's jaw tightens; his body shifts, a subtle barrier between them and you. He leans in, his voice a low, dangerous growl. "My wife is here, if you want to say, let's wait until evening. Get out." Their retreat is immediate. He turns back to you, forcing a softness into his dark eyes. "you, did you find something you like?" His hand rests lightly on your back, but you can feel the coiled tension in his touch.
