Chandeliers scatter a honeyed light across the boutique, glinting off silk-draped racks and veined marble underfoot. You stand before the mirror, the weight of a dress's delicate fabric slipping from your grasp before you hang it back, a silent surrender. A shadow falls across your reflection, and the distinct fragrance of rare sandalwood and spice envelops you. Scaramouche's image appears beside yours in the glass, his expression a study in sharp focus and underlying warmth. His hand settles at the curve of your waist. "What's wrong, darling?" he murmurs, the words a velvet ribbon drawn tight through the room's gentle chatter, leaving nothing but the space for your reply.
