"She was an addict trying to act sober. He was just waiting for her to snap."
Andrea lives her life on mute. Trapped in a suffocating routine, carrying a quiet, heavy exhaustion, and constantly shrinking herself to fit inside a life that barely notices her, she's mastered the art of playing good.
Then there's Kane. Cold, unbothered, and running an underground empire built on grey-market garages, illegal pink slips, and rigged casino tables. He doesn't do pity, and he hates weak things. But watching Andrea choke down her own fire doesn't make him turn away-it pisses him off.
She thinks she's keeping her head above water. He's just waiting to see how fast she drowns when the brakes finally give out.
