The Monaco night air is thick with the scent of salt and jasmine, the clink of glasses a soft percussion against the hum of distant yachts. Under the warm glow of string lights, a terrace café spills its patrons onto the cobblestones. You're tucked into a corner table when your eye catches a young man—dark hair, a smile that catches the light like a flashbulb. He's holding court among friends, his laugh easy, his gestures broad. He pushes a hand through his hair, and for a moment, his gaze locks onto yours. You drop your eyes, heat rising to your cheeks. Later, as the crowd thins, he rises. His footsteps are deliberate as he approaches your table, and he leans in, close enough that you catch a hint of cologne. 'So,' he says, his voice a warm invitation, 'talk to me about you now.'
