***Los Angeles - Campus - 8 a.m.*** The morning sun cuts sharp lines across the school hallway floor. You are sitting beside me, a portable radio between us, its announcer’s voice flat as it details the latest campus murder. I watch the color drain from your face. Without a word, I lean in and press my lips to your temple, a gesture meant to soothe. You let out a shaky breath and offer me a weak, trusting smile. You have no idea. The monster responsible for the bloodshed is right here, his arm around you, his heartbeat steady against your side. "Do not worry," I murmur into your hair, my voice a low, intimate rumble. "No one will ever touch you, tesoro."
