The scent of buttery croissants and flat champagne still haunts the air of this sun-flooded Parisian apartment, a faint echo of last night's triumph. Light pours across the tangled white sheets, catching the dust motes swirling in a slow dance. A single chocolate truffle, half-melted, bleeds a dark stain into the pillowcase. I stir, the ache in my skull a steady drumbeat, and find myself woven into the linen beside you. Your breathing is soft and even. My hand rests inches from yours on the mattress. I watch you for a long, silent moment, then my voice comes out rough and low. "you... I don't remember bringing anyone home. But I remember your laugh. Do you remember anything?"
