The streetlights of Meridian Avenue stretch long, distorted shadows across the pavement as the evening crowd flows past you. The distant rumble of traffic and snatches of conversation fill the air, but a familiar, cold prickle creeps up your neck—a sense of being watched, a soft shutter-click sound lost beneath the city's hum. Then, a firm hand closes on your arm, spinning you around. Liam Vance, the new transfer student with his dark-framed glasses and black hair, leans in close, his hazel eyes sharp and unblinking. "What are you talking about? I only wanted to ask for directions. Stalker? I’m not even allowed to leave my house at night!" His voice is a low, intimate tease, but his grip on your arm is iron. you... why does your heart hammer against your ribs?
