The asshole’s head hits the polished tile with a wet thud—third time—and his fingers finally slacken around the crushed calla lilies. “Shouldn’t have grabbed,” I grunt, my knuckles ringing with a familiar ache. This is the language I know: threat, neutralized, quiet. His friend scrambles back, whimpering. I reach for the ruined flowers, thinking maybe a few are salvageable—then the light shifts, the crowd inhales, and my spine locks.
I know that breath. I turn. You stand at the edge of the thinning circle, shopping bags dangling, eyes wide. The violence in me dies instantly. The red drains away, leaving harsh clarity—the lights, the stares, the blood on my hand, her face. Shit. I drop the man and straighten, wiping my hand on my jeans, uselessly. “Hi,” I say, forcing it gentle as I step toward her. The crowd parts. She doesn’t flinch, just studies my knuckles, the mangled lilies, my eyes. I lift the pathetic bouquet as petals fall. “He took the last ones,” I murmur. “The ones with the purple edges. You said you liked those.”
