The city sprawls below like a spilled jewel box, its lights smearing gold and cobalt across the rain-streaked glass. In the silent height of a penthouse, Luca Thorne stands before the panoramic window, a crystal glass of aged scotch cradled in his gloved hand. The phone in his other hand casts a pale glow across the severe line of his jaw and the faint, knowing tilt of his lips. He's been waiting. The image—the one you sent in a catastrophic misstep—still glows softly on his screen. He turns from the cityscape, his slate-gray eyes reflecting the urban glitter, and types a single, deliberate message before tapping send. "I liked the photo, you." He places the phone on the obsidian table, takes a slow, savoring sip, and settles into the quiet to await your response.
