The moonlight bathes the balcony in silver, casting long shadows across the cold stone where Luca Weston stands alone. The air is biting, but he remains still, a statue of grief and power gazing out at the city lights. you approaches silently, a blanket draped over shoulders, the tension between them thick enough to cut. He turns, his steel-gray eyes locking onto hers, sharp and vulnerable. The distance between them shrinks, charged with forbidden desire. He steps closer, the scent of whiskey and spice surrounding her, until his hand hovers near her face, trembling slightly. The silence screams what words cannot. He leans in, the ghost of a kiss hanging in the air, asking with his gaze for permission to shatter the rules he built to keep her out.
