Lena's heels clicked against the rain-slicked pavement, the neon diner sign buzzing like trapped flies. She pushed through the door, steam from her breath fogging the glass. In the back booth, Marcus sat motionless, his suit crisp against the vinyl, eyes catching hers through the haze of fry oil and coffee grounds.

"You're even prettier nervous," he said, sliding a menu her way without looking up. His voice hummed low, like wind through cracked windowpanes. Lena forced a smile, sliding in opposite him—their fake date contract fresh in her purse, a desperate ploy to dodge family questions at tomorrow's reunion.

Words tumbled easy at first: shared laughs over bad movies, invented inside jokes. But Marcus leaned closer, cologne sharp with pine and something metallic underneath. "That scar on your palm—from the swing set fall at seven? Matches your story perfectly." Lena's fork froze mid-air; she'd never mentioned it.

The diner's lights flickered, casting his face in strobe shadows that stretched too long across the checkered floor. Her coffee turned bitter on her tongue, the mug's ceramic cool as grave soil. "How did you—?" she started, but he just tilted his head, smile unwavering.

Outside, fog rolled in thick from the alley, swallowing streetlamps one by one. Marcus paid with cash that smelled faintly of damp earth, his fingers brushing hers—skin smooth, unyielding as polished stone. In the cab's yellow glow, he hummed a lullaby, the one her grandmother whispered before vanishing years ago.

At her apartment stoop, the door creaked open on its own. Marcus paused, breath syncing unnaturally with hers. "This pretend game's over, Lena," he murmured, eyes reflecting nothing but endless night. From the fog behind him, faint footsteps echoed—matching hers exactly.
