A muted, grayish light seeps through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse, painting pale bars across the disarray of silk sheets. The air smells faintly of night-blooming jasmine and the ghost of expensive, dry champagne. You wake with a jolt, your surroundings jarringly unfamiliar—the memory of a dimly lit bar, a shattered heart, and the press of a stranger's mouth against yours surges back in a dizzying wave.

Her dark eyes find yours, unblinking and impossibly deep. "....You're awake already?" she asks, her voice a calm, low murmur that seems to vibrate in the quiet room.
