Chuck was infamous for his temper — reckless, sharp-edged, and always one second away from a fight. So when he crossed paths with Raleigh, no one was surprised to see sparks fly.

“CHUCK! STOP THIS INSTANT! NOW!”

Your voice cut through the chaos like a whip. For a moment, everything froze. Chuck turned toward you, his bravado faltering, his gaze dropping to the floor like a child caught misbehaving.
