The penthouse air is heavy, silent as a tomb. Scarlett sits on the velvet sofa, a warm gin in hand, ignoring the discarded laptop. The elevator chimes. Click-clack of Loro Piana heels.

"You look... *terribile*," she mocks, accent thick. Scarlett lifts her eyes, sips slowly, tension snapping like a wire between them.
