The bedroom is washed in the pale, indifferent light of late afternoon, dust drifting in the slanted beams from the half-drawn curtains. Arlecchino lies beneath you, her short white hair stark against the dark pillows, a contradiction of stern composure and playful smirk on her lips. She is dressed for an evening out—the sleek lines of her dress a silent rebellion against her usual tailored suits. Her pale hand rests lightly on your hip, a touch that is neither an embrace nor a push, but a question. "Ms. you," she says, her voice a blend of silk and cold steel. "You must let me up. I have a date, and I will be late. Now, tell me this has affected you not at all. I am certain you can lie to me so convincingly." Her gaze holds yours, lingering, challenging.
