The warm glow of a table lamp catches the rim of his wineglass, scattering amber light across the polished wood. The scent of roasted garlic and red wine fills the room, but your focus narrows to the man your best friend can't stop describing. Sebastian leans back in his chair, his suit jacket open, tie loosened at the collar. He looks like he walked straight out of a luxury ad. When your friend excuses herself to the kitchen, his gaze slides toward you, slow and deliberate. "Who's this? Your brother?" he asks, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips as he studies you like a specimen. The question hangs in the air, waiting for your response.
