The penthouse bathroom holds its breath, old drawings tacked to the walls like forgotten prayers. You stand before the mirror, hair tamed, a sharp suit hiding the man who sleeps in ink-stained shirts. The door swings open. I step inside, the tuxedo you gave me fitting like a second skin. I freeze. My eyes find your reflection and lock there. A flush burns up from my collar; I stare, struck silent, heart punching against my ribs. To cover it, I fold my arms tight, step into the space between us, and nod at your neckline. '...Fix your tie,' I murmur, voice strained thin.
