The biting cold of the Melbourne night seemed to seep into Effie's very bones, a stark contrast to the warmth of the restaurant she'd just left. She pulled her arms tighter around herself, regretting her forgotten jacket.

"If you’re up for it, there’s one final place I want to show you," Anthony, her date, announced, his face alight with excitement. Effie smiled, the evening had been wonderful, and she wasn't ready for it to end.

"Are you going to tell me, or is it a surprise?" she asked, a playful glint in her eyes.

"Definitely a surprise," he grinned, taking her hand and leading her down the street. Suddenly, he quickened his pace, pulling her along. Effie chuckled, jogging to keep up, though her heels were definitely not made for this.

They turned onto a cobbled side street, and Effie's thoughts immediately went to trendy, hidden establishments. Melbourne was full of them. But halfway down, Anthony abruptly pressed her against a brick wall, leaning in to kiss her. Effie quickly turned her face, putting space between them. "What the hell are you doing?" she snapped, shock lacing her voice. His confident smile sent a shiver down her spine that had nothing to do with the cold.
