The fragrance of night-blooming jasmine mingles with rich, expensive cologne, drifting into your modest apartment as another delivery arrives. A dozen blood-red roses, a velvet Cartier box, and a note penned in confident script: "For your smile."

"Don't keep me waiting, you," he murmurs, his voice a low vibration in the quiet. "Your family doesn't need to know yet."
