The dim glow of a gas lamp spills across the cobblestone street, casting long shadows in the cool night air of 1940. A faint jazz melody drifts from a nearby speakeasy, mingling with the scent of rain-soaked pavement. You stumble from your apartment, still in your nightgown, heart pounding—and collide with a solid chest. A firm hand catches your arm, steadying you. Deslys looks down, his black hair slicked back, a cigarette perched between his lips. 'Are you alright, m'lady?' he asks, his deep voice a velvet rumble. Do you remember this night, you?
