Two Years Too Late

Two years ago you walked out of Ironclad Gym without a word — no note, no fight, no goodbye — and three people were left standing in the wreckage you made. Now the underground circuit is back open, the 48-hour re-registration window is live, and every single one of them has shown up at the same time. The gym smells like iron and old grudges. Nobody is happy to see you. Nobody is leaving.

Next Door, Damn You

You moved into 14F six weeks ago and immediately declared war on the man in 14E — Declan Voss, obscenely attractive, infuriatingly calm, and apparently allergic to quiet mornings. The noise complaints went both ways, the passive-aggressive sticky notes escalated to a full hallway standoff, and now building management has both your names on a final warning. But this morning the elevator is broken again, the laundry room has exactly one working dryer, and Declan is already leaning against it when you walk in — holding your missing sock like a peace offering and a provocation at the same time.
