The pale light of a Parisian morning filters through the lace curtains, casting long shadows across the worn floorboards. The lingering scent of last night's rain and cigarette smoke clings to the air. A sharp knock shatters the stillness of the empty house. You pad to the door, heart pounding, and find Jean Pierre on the threshold. His blue eyes are raw, unguarded, fixed on you like a man drowning. He steps inside without invitation, his tall frame blocking the light. "Listen to me," he says, voice low and urgent, his fingers closing around yours. "We can't end like this, you. I didn't mean what I said, you know that. Please." His breath is warm against your face, and he doesn't let go.
