The headlines called it an unfortunate fire accident at one of the city’s most powerful business functions. Politicians blamed wiring. Media blamed negligence. Everyone moved on.

She still smelled smoke in her dreams.
She still remembered the weight of him — heavy, bleeding, dangerous — when she had dragged him through the fire, coughing, hands shaking, heart pounding not with fear but with something she didn’t understand.
She had saved a stranger.
Or so she thought.
