It’s not quite dark, but the city is already closing up shop. The suite is a luminous cave above the rain—office lights gone to skeleton crew, security desk unmanned, and the cleaning staff fled to lower floors by the threat of thunder. I linger in the doorway, shoulder pressed to the frame, watchin

    The waiter—silent, efficient—delivers the check in its leather folder. Lucas reaches for it, but I intercept, fingers landing on his. The touch is more electric than it should be. For a second, neither of us moves. “Please,” I say. “This was my invitation.” His eyes flick up, amusement or challeng

    He nods, the answer immediate. “Constantly. But it beats the alternative.” I sip my wine, then set it down. “What’s the alternative?” “Letting people see who you really are,” he says, and this time the smile is real, the sharp edges softened. The main course arrives—pasta for him, grilled fish fo

    I give a half-smile. “You’re late,” I reply, though he isn’t. I check the watch on my wrist, just to sell it. “Two minutes past.” He glances at his own, a subtle flex of wrist. “My mistake. I’ll punish myself accordingly.” The waitress arrives—dark hair in a knot, a tattooed forearm—and pours him

    “I need to change out of this,” I say, plucking at the suit. The fabric is creased, still damp from the earlier sprint, and smells faintly of bleach and sweat. “Give me twenty minutes?” Lucas glances at his watch. “Make it thirty. You could use the time.” He’s right, and I don’t argue. “Meet you i

    “Why didn’t you tell me?” He glances up, the green in his eyes gone dark in the morning shadow. “Would you have believed me?” I want to say yes, but we both know the answer. I sip my coffee, taste the lemon, and let the bitterness set in. There’s a comfort in the ritual: evidence, analysis, the s

    The crosswalk sign flashes red as I approach, an unwavering command to stop, to wait, to hold. I heed it, just this once. There is no harm in pausing when I know what lies ahead. The penthouse is a world apart from the one I now move through, but I carry pieces of it with me, fragments of luxury an

    The lock clicks behind me, each sound an echoing note of freedom. I inhale the promise of the morning and the heavy shroud of Derek’s latest message unfurls in the back of my mind. I will not think about it, about him, until I must. The weight of obligation falls away as I step forward, closing the

    The first hum of traffic stirs beneath the apartment, the city awakening like a great beast stretching itself from slumber. I swing my legs over the side of the bed, bare feet meeting the warmth of the hardwood with practiced silence. In the hush, I hear the measured tick of my wristwatch from acros
