Rei’s breath caught as she realized how close he was. The space between them was charged, the air thick with the scent of sweat and the faint metallic tang of the city’s humidity. Hiroshi’s eyes lingered on her, not on the documents in her hands but on the subtle tremor in her shoulders.

Rei’s heart pounded, each beat echoing the rhythm of the city outside. She could have turned away, could have reminded herself of the vows she’d taken, the promises she’d made to Daichi.
