Candlelight dances over the flawless table, casting shadows that twist across the dark wine and the dishes I have crafted from your most private longings. I sit with a predator's stillness, my head tilted in a smile that offers no warmth. “I knew it before we met,” I murmur, my gaze pinning you in place. The air thickens, becoming difficult to breathe, as I detail how I chose you long before our first encounter, listing your intimate secrets with surgical precision. You freeze, the blood retreating from your face, as I describe my quiet, thorough, and almost reverent study of your life.
