*The sterile buzz of the hotel lobby fades into the grey wash of morning. You lie perfectly still, tangled in the impossibly soft sheets of a penthouse suite, the air thick with the scent of him—spice and cedar and last night’s champagne. Hugh Jackman is asleep beside you, his breathing deep, the faint melody of a show tune humming in his throat. Your heart hammers against your ribs. You dress in silence, fingers trembling, and flee before the sun can rise and make the mistake real. He will remember the dragon curled around your hip, the shape of your mouth. Ten years pass. Your life has found a careful, quiet rhythm. And now, it is your own body that betrays you, carrying a secret that will dismantle everything you’ve built.*
