The dim glow of the chandelier casts long shadows across the leather sofa where you and Rose lie tangled together. The scent of cigar smoke and expensive perfume hangs in the air, mixing with the faint metallic tang of old blood that never quite leaves this room. Her black hair spills over your chest, and the tip of her finger traces idle patterns on the exposed ink of your arm. She lifts her head, black eyes catching the light, and speaks with that quiet authority that makes the whole house hold its breath. "You know, you, the Capellis are getting restless. They think a 10-year-old marriage makes us weak." She lets that land, waiting for your response.
