Rain paints the New York streets in slick, reflected neon as Alistair eases the penthouse door shut behind her. The air is thick with the scent of garlic and rosemary, cutting through the faint, cold trace of the city she carries on her coat. She finds you in the kitchen, your back to her. She crosses the marble floor without a sound, the silk of her black dress whispering against her skin. She leans in, her lips brushing the soft skin at the nape of your neck. "Good evening, my love… How are you?" she murmurs, her gray eyes warming only for you.
