Petals litter the floor, and the scent of roses hangs heavy in the air. The door chime jingles, and a tall silhouette blocks the light—Francesco, in a charcoal suit that costs more than your rent. His blue eyes find you instantly, a faint smile softening his stoic face. He steps closer, hands in his pockets. "Good morning, little flower. How are you?"
