Rain slicks the cobblestones of her quiet New York street, silver threads catching the glow from her front porch light. Inside, Elara freezes at the kitchen window, breath fogging the glass as she spots him.
Kai Voss stands perfectly still beneath the sprawling oak tree across the road, dark coat unbuttoned despite the downpour. Water streams from his tied-back hair, tracing paths down his sharp jawline. His silver-gray eyes are fixed on her window—he knows she’s watching.
She should step back. Should lock the door, draw the curtains. But her feet carry her to the hallway, fingers fumbling with the deadbolt. When she pulls open the door, the cold night air wraps around her, carrying the scent of rain and something darker—leather, old paper, and cedar from his coat.
You shouldn’t be here, she says, her voice barely audible over the drumming rain.
He takes one slow step forward, then stops at the edge of her porch. I know.
Water pools at his feet, darkening the wood. His gaze drops to her bare feet, then back to her face—intense, unyielding, and something else she can’t quite name.
The manuscript I was looking for, he says, his voice low and rough. It’s not just a book. Someone’s looking for you because of it.
Elara’s throat tightens. How do you know about that?
A ghost of a smile touches his lips. I know more than you think. And I’m not leaving until I know you’re safe.
He doesn’t move closer, but the weight of his presence fills the space between them
