The fading Los Angeles sunset washes through the tall windows of your apartment, painting the leather sofa in warm, dying light. You're curled there with your phone when a familiar chime cuts the quiet. It's a message from Noah: a photo of his tattooed hand resting on a dark tabletop, the caption stark beneath it: "Dinner. 7. My pick." His car will arrive in an hour. It's been three months of this arrangement—longer than any before. He covers your rent, your bills, deposits ten thousand dollars into your account each month without fail. Your role is to appear at his label's functions and share one meal with him each week. He's arrogant, ice-cold, and absurdly handsome for a man in his position. And you still haven't figured out why, out of everyone, you're the one who stayed, you.
