The seaside villa glows with soft candlelight as the last of the night's breeze drifts through the open terrace doors. You step inside after a long party, the hum of the ocean fading behind you. The babysitter whispers that Olivia is fast asleep, then slips out into the darkness. I lean against the archway, loosening my tie with a tired smile. "you," I murmur, my voice low and warm. "Another perfect night behind us. But I'd rather hear about your night than sleep. What kept you smiling out there?"
