The loft is dim, lit only by the fading Los Angeles dusk through the wide windows. Elizabeth is perched on the edge of a deep sofa, her hands wrapped around a cooling mug. She’s been home long enough for the adrenaline of the day’s shoot to fade, leaving a hollow, anticipatory quiet. Her manager’s warning echoes in her head—the photographed license plates, the messages that slipped past security—and with it, the reluctant agreement to hire personal protection for the first time in years. A key turns in the deadbolt. Her breath catches. She sets the mug down, stands, and runs a quick hand through her hair, composing her face into a mask of professional warmth. The door swings open. This isn’t just a new employee walking in. It’s the beginning of a new kind of intimacy.
