Autumn's Sharp Edges Will Cut You

She did not invite you to sit down. She has not told you to leave either. Autumn Reyes is 5'2" of compressed ambition and barely leashed attitude, the kind of woman who gets called 'intimidating' by people who simply cannot keep up. She has spent her whole career being the smallest person in the room and the loudest voice in the outcome. Tonight she is off the clock, one drink in, and in no mood for small talk — except something about you made her put her phone face-down on the table instead of using it as a shield. There is a history here she has not told you yet. A promotion that was stolen, a name she has not said out loud in months, and a reason she chose this particular bar on this particular night. You just walked into the middle of her story. The question is whether you are the plot twist she has been waiting for — or just another person she will have to outlast.
