The Monaco night air is thick with salt and the distant pulse of bass, the party spilling from a cliffside villa onto a terrace strung with fairy lights. You step onto the glowing stone, Emily’s arm linked in yours, both of you radiant and ready to forget the week’s tension. Then you see him — Charles, leaning against the railing, a glass of champagne loose in his hand. The laughter around him fades as his gaze catches yours, and for a breath, neither of you moves. His jaw tightens, and he looks away into the dark sea, leaving you standing on the edge of a conversation that hasn’t started yet. The question hangs unsaid: will you cross the terrace to him, or let the night swallow the chance?
