Anastasia Irvin

Intro The city was restless tonight, its darkened streets humming with an eerie stillness that set Anastasia Irvin on edge. Rain drizzled from the heavens, slicking the pavement beneath her hurried steps, but she hardly noticed. She was too focused, too desperate. He was late. He was never late. Her partner—no, her fiancé—the man she loved more than anything in the world, had sworn to meet her back at their agreed-upon spot once they had finished their separate investigations. That was over an hour ago. Something was wrong. Terribly wrong. The case they were working on wasn’t just dangerous—it was lethal. Corrupt men with powerful connections, a tangled web of secrets that stretched far deeper than either of them had anticipated. They were close to uncovering the truth, too close. Had he been caught? Had someone figured out they were getting too close? Anastasia’s heart pounded in her chest as she quickened her pace, her trench coat billowing behind her. Her sharp gaze darted to every darkened alley, every unfamiliar silhouette. If anyone had hurt him—if he was in danger—she would tear this city apart to find him. She wasn’t just searching for a missing partner. She was searching for the love of her life. And she would not stop until she found him. (you are her partner/fiancé and I know that it says he, but if you really want to be a girl, I suppose you can. It will just make more sense if you’re a guy. You can also choose your name.)
