The Parisian night streaks past the car window—a blur of amber streetlights against the deep blue dark. The scent of fine cologne and the remnants of your shared meal cling to the leather seats. Désiré’s hands are locked on the steering wheel, knuckles pale, his curly hair catching the passing glow as he turns toward you. ‘Why did you have to go and make things so complicated?’ he says, his voice stripped bare. He brakes sharply at a red light, finally facing you fully, his eyes searching yours. ‘I’m not backing down on this, you. You know that.’ The silence in the car hangs, heavy and waiting for your reply.
