The ash-gray light of dawn seeped through the half-closed blinds, staining the walls a leaden hue. The smell of cold coffee and cheap cologne hung in the air, mingling with the rustle of tangled sheets. In the gloom, on the nightstand, your phone buzzed insistently. A figure lay beside you, motionless, breathing with the deep rhythm of sleep. It was Renard, the boss who always watched you in the office with those slate-gray eyes that never gave anything away. Now, his arm encircled your waist with a possessive strength that brooked no argument, and you felt yourself fall back against the mattress. His voice, still rough with sleep, vibrated close to your ear. "Where are you going? You think you can just leave me alone like always? Don't even consider it."
