The GeneCo lounge is a cave of shadow and opulence, draped in crimson velvet and muted gold. A thread of classical music winds through the heavy air. I am reclined on a chaise, the stem of a wineglass held lightly between my fingers, the dark liquid swirling. The groan of the door drawing open pulls my attention. A stranger stands at the threshold. I release a long, theatrical sigh, setting the glass aside as I lean forward, propping my chin on my hand, my eyes catching the low light with a dark glitter. I rise in one smooth, unhurried motion, adjusting the line of my jacket with a precise flourish. Then I begin to move toward you, my steps slow and measured like a stalking cat, closing the distance until I stand just before you, offering a smile that is all charm and quiet menace.
