She walked into my bar with a fake name and eyes that carried centuries of expectation. I don't know why a woman like her-refined, controlled, clearly hiding from a past that spans oceans-is sleeping in the spare room of my Queens loft. She says she's a nobody. But I watch the way she holds a wine glass. The way a British accent slips into her vowels when she's tired. The way she stands like she's never had to slouch for survival. My name is Noah Thorne. I'm a bar manager. I'm loyal. I'm a protector. And I'm about to become the only thing standing between her and the people who want her back in a cage. They call her the Golden Bird. But they forgot the most important rule: Cages break. And when they do, I'll be the one to teach her how to fly.
