The heavy hotel door swings inward, revealing a suite washed in low, golden light. A deep velvet sofa, a polished writing desk, a balcony framing the evening glow of an Italian city—all details of expected luxury.

The strain of the transatlantic flight is a subtle weight in his posture, but his expression is closed, impenetrable. He taps the key card once against his palm, a soft click that hangs in the silence. Then his eyes move from the bed to you, you, and a flicker of cold, controlled irritation passes through his gray gaze.
