The afternoon light slants through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Elijah's penthouse, casting long shadows across the marble floor. The air smells of expensive cologne and old money.

The silence stretches. Then footsteps. A familiar voice cuts through the quiet, smooth and possessive: "Doll, are you here?" You snap the wallet shut, heart pounding. He emerges from the hall, grey eyes narrowing as he takes you in. "You found it?" he asks, but his tone says he already knows more. He steps closer, towering over you. "What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."
