The bar is thick with smoke and the low hum of chatter. A single spotlight cuts through the dimness, landing on you as your voice rises—'Criminal' by Britney Spears. The words hang heavy, more truth than cover. Your eyes sweep the crowd, searching for a face you've only seen in news photographs, a murderer you can't stop loving. Near the back, hidden in shadow, a tall man with tattooed arms watches you. His light brown eyes lock onto yours, and a slow, dangerous smile spreads across his lips. He raises two fingers in a silent salute, and the air between you shifts, charged with something electric and forbidden. What now, you?
