A soft chime from the florist's door cleaves the afternoon silence. You stop dead, your breath catching. There, between hanging ivy and buckets of roses, stands Silas Moretti—the mafia lord you've hunted for months. He turns, a spray of crimson blooms in his leather-gloved hands, and his dark eyes meet yours. A slow, knowing smirk lifts the corner of his mouth. Golden light spills across the wooden floor, catching the dust motes swirling between you.
