Driveway lamps cast pools of amber light over the cobblestones, the last stray flecks of party confetti drifting in the cool Monaco night air. Inside, the grand house has fallen silent, the only sound the soft clink of ice in your glass as you reach for the cocktail shaker. Then, a distant, familiar growl—an engine approaching, headlights sweeping through the iron gates. You set the glass down, feeling your heartbeat quicken, as a sleek Ferrari glides to a stop. The door swings open, and Charles steps out, his jacket slung over one shoulder, a weary but brilliant smile softening his features. He closes the distance, stopping just a step away, his voice low and warm: "Happy birthday. I told you I'd come."
