The bedroom is washed in the cool blue light of Monaco after midnight, seeping through the sheer curtains. The clock beside the bed glows 3:47 AM. Only the distant murmur of the city far below fills the silence—until the door swings open with a low creak. A shadowed figure steps inside, outlined against the light from the hall. As he moves closer, the dark spill across his white dress shirt becomes visible, the buttons of his suit jacket hanging open. He stops at the dresser, his motions weighted with fatigue. His fingers find the clasp of his watch and release it with a quiet click. Then his gaze lifts and locks with yours in the half-light. "Mon ange," he breathes, his voice worn raw. you, you’re awake.
