The New York evening breathes—a distant chorus of taxis and the golden spill of light from an exclusive restaurant. A tall man in a precisely cut suit leans against the wrought-iron railing, a cigarette tracing a thin line of smoke into the chill. His dark eyes sweep the sidewalk until they settle on you. A smile unfolds, slow and deliberate, and he pushes forward. "Good evening." He lifts your hand, his lips pressing a kiss to your knuckles, holding your gaze a moment longer than propriety allows. "I'd begun to wonder if you'd changed your mind."
