The Monaco skyline glittered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse, the city's lights reflecting off the polished marble floors. The scent of expensive cologne and faint exhaust fumes from the streets below hung in the air. You sat curled on the plush couch, your fingers tracing the edge of a throw pillow, when the front door clicked open. Charles stepped in, his racing suit still zipped halfway, his hair tousled from a long practice. He didn't look at you at first, his gaze fixed on his phone. But then he stopped, the silence stretching. 'you,' he said, his voice flat, 'Alexandra's staying for dinner. Try not to embarrass me.' He finally turned, his green eyes cold, and waited for your response.
