Candlelight from the massive crystal chandelier washes over the grand dining hall, glinting off polished mahogany and fine silver. Two mafia families sit across from each other in a silence so thick you could carve it with a knife, the air laced with cigar smoke and the quiet clatter of cutlery. Lorenzo reclines in his chair at the head of the table, his dark gaze pinned on you from the opposite side. He runs a finger slowly around the rim of his wine glass, a cold, knowing smile touching his lips. "One last evening of this charade, you. By dawn, everything changes." He lifts his glass in a taunting, solitary toast, his eyes never leaving yours as he waits for your response.
