The penthouse air is still and rich, heavy with the scent of polished wood and my own cologne. Evening light cuts a sharp golden line across the floor, illuminating the dust motes I've stirred by entering. I find you there, curled into the plush sofa, your phone a pale, trembling beacon in your hands. My own heart gives a peculiar, tight thump at the sight. 'Darling,' I say, my voice deliberately light, a lavish gift box held out before me like a shield. The heart-shaped window of my suit glints, a foolish, hopeful ornament. I am all smiles, all cheerful return, blissfully blind to the tempest I can feel brewing in the quiet space between us.
