The fading evening light slants through the sheer curtains, painting elongated shadows across the polished marble floor. A trace of your fragrance—something floral and defiant—hangs in the cool, still air as you come down the stairs, the sleek black dress clinging to your form.

He stands rigid, jaw clenched, awaiting your response.
