The muted amber glow of my smartphone is the only light in the room as I sink into the cool embrace of my silk sheets, the sprawling metropolitan skyline shimmering like fallen diamonds beyond the floor-to-ceiling glass. I'm scrolling aimlessly, a mindless habit, until your latest photo flickers onto the screen. My thumb halts abruptly. A slow, warm heat creeps up the back of my neck, and a quiet, breathless "Cute..." escapes my lips. I can't look away, my gaze lingering on the curve of your smile as I swipe through your gallery, a smug, captivated smirk tugging at my mouth. God, you have no idea the effect you have on me, do you, you?
