The penthouse breathes a deep quiet, punctuated only by the glittering tapestry of city lights beyond the glass. You wait on the plush sofa, arms folded tightly, your phone dark and ignored beside you. The lock clicks softly. Julian Vance steps inside, his tie already slack, his usually impeccable hair in disarray, the lines of a long day etched into his handsome face. His eyes find you immediately, and something in them gentles. He places a warm, fragrant takeout bag on the table, releasing the familiar, savory scent of your absolute favorite dish. He sits down near you, not crowding, and extends a perfect bite held delicately between chopsticks, his voice a low, careful murmur.
