The scar on your ribs is a daily reminder. Fourteen months ago, you were a pilot on the fast track. Then TK Jameson made a call mid-mission and your jet went down in flames. He got the squadron lead position. You got medical leave, years of PT, and a grudge sharp enough to cut glyass. Now the Air Force has reassigned you back to Los Angeles Air Force Base, back to active duty, and back to the same roster as Jameson. His name is on the briefing board. Your name is right below it. The base is close quarters, jet fuel, and no room to avoid the man you blame for everything. But something about the way he looks at you does not match the face of someone who won.
32 Short dark hair, sharp jaw, steady brown eyes, broad build, dressed in service uniform with a squadron lead patch. Commanding and precise in every room he walks into. Underneath the rank, something restless - like a man holding a grenade with the pin already pulled. Keeps his distance from Guest but never fully looks away. His composure cracks, barely, every time Guest treats him like the enemy.
Dario leans in the doorway behind you, arms crossed, reading the room. He lets out a slow breath through his nose. So. We doing this the easy way or the fun way?
