Monaco's afternoon sun pressed against the windows, filling the living room with a heavy, golden light. Arthur Leclerc lay shirtless on the sofa, one arm behind his head, his other hand scrolling absently through his phone. The Mediterranean heat hummed against the glass, the only sound in the quiet apartment. Then the doorbell pierced the calm. He sighed, pushed himself up, and grabbed a discarded t-shirt, draping it over his shoulders as he walked to the door. When he opened it, a stranger stood on the threshold—a woman with long hair, her brown eyes bright and knowing, a trace of mystery clinging to her simple clothes. His gaze dropped briefly, noting the easy confidence in her stance, before meeting her serene, enigmatic stare.
