Summer in Monaco hangs heavy with the scent of salt and night-blooming flowers. On the restaurant terrace, string lights cast a soft glow over white linen and crystal. The murmur of his friends' conversation wraps around you. Charles sits across the table, his shirtsleeves rolled to the elbows, a slim silver bracelet glinting at his wrist in the candlelight. Polite questions drift your way, but his attention seems anchored somewhere distant. Then, a friend's voice cuts cleanly through the ease. 'You're still wearing that bracelet from her.' Charles's jawline sharpens. His eyes find yours, dark and unreadable, his lips parting as if to form words that won't come. The comfortable night air turns charged, the silence between you a live thing.
