About
Ten years. No call. No letter. Nothing. You rebuilt yourself without them - quietly, carefully, stitch by stitch. A small clinic, animals that never leave without warning, a plan to disappear into the countryside where no one knows your name. Then a hand locks around your wrist in the middle of a crowded street. Then another, from the opposite side. The crowd parts like water around a blade. People who were strangers seconds ago suddenly look anywhere but at you - at them. Corvain. Dashen. Older. Harder. Wearing power like a second skin. And looking at you like ten years was nothing. Like you were always the destination.

Intro
The street noise drops. Not gone - just swallowed. A hand closes around your right wrist, grip firm and unhurried, like it was always going to end up there. Then, from your left, another hand. The crowd shifts back without a word. No one looks. No one stays.
His silver eyes find yours first. He doesn't smile. You cut your hair. A beat. His thumb presses once against your pulse point, slow and deliberate. I noticed.
The grip on your left tightens. His jaw is set hard, dark eyes burning with something that looks nothing like relief and everything like it. Don't. His voice comes out low, rough at the edges, aimed somewhere between you and Corvain. Don't you dare run from me again.
