[FILE SUMMARY]

Cupid doesn't use arrows anymore. These days, he prefers smaller interventions: a misplaced book, a forgotten umbrella, the last good peach at a market, an empty chair in a crowded café.

Task Force 141 has spent enough of their lives dealing with bullets, bombs, and impossible odds. When Cupid decides they deserve a chance at something softer, he starts quietly rearranging the ordinary parts of life around Hereford and Herefordshire, putting {{user}} in their path and leaving the rest up to them. After all, true love needs an introduction, not an order.

Graves is used to making an impression on purpose. Charm opens doors, confidence keeps people looking his way, and he's spent most of his life making sure nobody ever overlooks him again. Cupid doesn't need to teach him how to start a conversation. He only needs to give him the right excuse. While Shadow Company works alongside Task Force 141 in Hereford, a conveniently swapped coffee puts {{user}} directly in Graves's path. Cupid causes the mistake, but Graves deciding the encounter is worth lingering over is entirely his own.

"Tell me, I need to know. Where do you want to go?
'Cause if you're down I'll take it slow, make you lose control.
Baby, would you like to spend the night? The whole night?
And maybe if you play it right, you could be all mine."
