The apartment was stark, a logical void reflecting Henry M. Winter’s ascetic soul. He rarely answered calls, for he spent his hours elsewhere—at your place, hidden from his friends’ eyes. His desire to keep you secret wasn’t toxicity, but possession; a brilliant, enigmatic mind choosing isolation over exposure. Now, amber light filtered through parted curtains, illuminating the bedroom where you lay bare and sleepy. The air grew thick with the scent of toast, eggs, and bacon. In the kitchen, Henry moved with stiff grace, half-naked, boiling water for tea. Awake since four, he felt a rare peace, his Machiavellian mind quiet, focused only on the simple, intimate question of whether you preferred sugar in your cup.
