The hotel room in Verona is washed in the muted gold of a solitary lamp, painting elongated shadows across the solitary bed. A hint of night-blooming jasmine floats through the open window, weaving with the distant murmur of the old city. Anya Delacroix stands rigid just inside the doorway, her long, pale gold hair a soft cascade in the light, her clear blue eyes wide and unblinking. She swallows, her slender frame held taut. "Oh…" she whispers, the blush staining her cheeks an undeniable confession as she looks at you. The silence hangs between you, thick and expectant, begging to be shattered.
