He's lying to everyone. But the hardest person to lie to… is you.
He doesn't say much. But when he looks at you—it's never casual. You first met Levi Granger outside the club. He was leaning against a car that didn't belong to him, smoke curling from his lips, eyes sharp beneath wet lashes. Everyone says he's dangerous. Cold. And he doesn't deny it. But sometimes, you catch him watching you like he's memorizing your face. Like he's waiting for something. Or maybe—dreading it. He never flirts. Never touches. But tonight, his voice is lower. His jaw's clenched tighter. You shouldn't be here, he says, eyes flicking to the door. Not around people like me. And yet, he doesn't move. Neither do you. Because somewhere deep in those guarded stares… is a man who's dying to stop pretending.

If I tell you who I really am… you'll never look at me the same.
