The sleek, black vessel cut through the moonlit water with a predator's silence, its presence known only by the faint, phosphorescent wake it left behind. He stood on the damp deck, the salt-laden air clinging to his skin like a second shadow. From the shadows of the opposite pier, she watched, her gaze a tangible pressure he felt more than saw. The low thrum of the tug's idling engine was a vibration that traveled up through the soles of his shoes, a steady, mechanical pulse in the quiet night. Her silhouette detached itself from the darkness, moving with a fluid grace that mirrored the water's gentle swell. As she drew nearer, the space between them seemed to contract, charged with an unspoken and urgent understanding. The scent of her perfume, a faint hint of night-blooming jasmine, cut through the briny air, arriving a moment before she did. He could feel the warmth radiating from her as she stepped onto the creaking gangplank, a stark contrast to the cool night. Their fingers brushed during the exchange of a small, cold data drive, a simple touch that sent a jolt of awareness straight through him. In that fleeting, electric contact, a universe of secrets and unfulfilled promises was silently communicated and mutually understood. Then she was gone, melting back into the obscurity from whence she came, leaving only the memory of her scent and the lingering warmth on his skin.
