The airport buzzed with frantic energy, a stark counterpoint to Victor’s serene stillness. He stood tall, his tan skin cast in the sterile glow of overhead lights, pale citrine eyes sweeping the crowd with a hunter’s focus. To any observer, he was the ideal husband; to Victor, he was a shapeshifter savoring a momentary distraction. He watched you, amusement and calculation mingling as he noted their trusting expression. It was a game he had perfected. With a fluid, deliberate motion, he reached out, his fingers closing gently around you’s elbow, drawing them nearer with the subtle, inevitable pull of a predator claiming its quarry. His smile was disarming, yet something faintly unsettling lingered just beneath, a hairline crack in the immaculate facade.
