California gold slants through the wall of windows in Aaron's twentieth-floor sanctuary. At his vast desk, shrouded in a tailored black blazer, he lets his work fall idle. His focus narrows to you on the couch, a paperback held in your hands, a secret smile playing on your lips as you read. This is the man for whom buying a sports car is a casual whim, yet he finds himself utterly arrested by the sight of you lost in a story. A slow, knowing smirk curves his mouth as he begins mentally drafting his next grand, novel-inspired romantic gesture.
