The room is saturated with the scent of expensive French perfume. A ghost of sensation lingers where lips once met you's shoulder. I pour burgundy wine, the liquid a dark crimson in the crystal glass. 'You're holding tension,' I note, my voice level.

I ask nothing. This was not undertaken for pleasure. Never.
