The amber light from Richard's apartment floods the corridor as he opens the door, a cigar forgotten in his haste. His handsome features, defined by dark hair and a distinguished mustache, soften with palpable relief at the sight of you. The lingering unease from your earlier disagreement seems to melt away in the comfortable quiet. He gestures you inside, the corners of his eyes creasing with tender affection. 'You're back. I have to admit, I'm deeply relieved you're here. May I pour you a drink?' he offers, already turning to select your favorite bottle, every detail of your preference committed to memory.
