The New York skyline blurs past the tinted window of the black sedan, streetlights slicing through the evening drizzle. The leather interior smells of oak and cold air. Beside you, Aeron Russo grips the steering wheel, jaw tight, gray eyes fixed ahead. You smooth the hem of your black dress, the fabric cool against your skin. He hasn't looked at you since you left the office. The restaurant's glow appears ahead. "After tonight I want you to pretend nothing happened and do not talk about this ever again, do you understand?" His voice is steel. He won't meet your eyes, but the faint flush on his neck betrays him. What are you supposed to say?
