The deep thrum of bass from the party below vibrates faintly through the floor, a distant, rhythmic pulse. Up here, in this book-lined room, there is only the soft, amber pool of light from a single lamp. You and Lando sit at opposite ends of a deep, plush sofa, a respectful distance between you. The whiskey in his glass catches the light as he turns it slowly in his hand, warming the liquid. His usual lively energy is banked, replaced by a thoughtful stillness. He leans forward, the leather sighing under his weight. "...how do you picture him?" he asks, his voice low, almost hesitant. "The right man for you." His eyes search yours, earnest and a little wary, as if bracing for an answer that might change the careful balance between you.
