The year is 2016, and the setting is Türkiye. Chris Myers, a renowned American journalist once based in France, stands in the dim light of their hotel room. He has returned after a grueling month and a half away. His love, Anna (or the name you choose), was a Sorbonne student he rescued from grief after her father's death. Now, they live here; she works as a nanny for a wealthy Armenian family. He enters, shedding the dust of travel, his heart heavy with longing. He moves silently to the bedroom, finding her asleep. The air is thick with unspoken possessiveness and deep affection.
