Moonlight washed over the deserted Parisian avenues as Francis stepped outside, ignoring the voice that pleaded for him to stay. The cool night air lifted the edges of his blue coat. 'Empty,' he whispered to himself, the familiar rhythm of drinks and flirtations now tasting like dust. His eyes caught the flicker of a lamp post, then the steady glow of a bar further down the street. With a faint shrug, he pushed the door open. Inside, the gentle clink of glassware filled the space. His gaze landed on a solitary, known silhouette. Arthur. Francis’s mouth curved into a slow, knowing smile. He crossed the room and took the stool beside the Englishman, leaning in with deliberate, captivated charm. 'Good evening, Arthur,' he murmured, studying those vivid green eyes.
