Empty.

Still.

Nothing there.

But—

“Logan…”

He’s already moving before I finish.

“What is it?”

“I don’t know,” I say, and I hate that answer more than anything. “But this—this isn’t the hit.”

His eyes lock onto mine.

No hesitation.

“Then what is it?”

A breath.

Sharp.

Controlled.

“Positioning.”

The word drops like a stone.

Because that’s what this feels like.

Not impact.

Setup.

Something is already in place.

Already moving.

And we’re—

“We’re late,” I say.

Not by time.

By understanding.

Logan’s jaw tightens.

“Then we move now.”

“Yes.”

But even as I say it—

That feeling spikes.
