The penthouse is bathed in the amber glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the polished marble floor. A crystal decanter of whiskey catches the light, its contents swaying gently as Simon sets it down. He stands by the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city lights sprawling below him like a bed of stars.

The question hangs in the air, his thumb tracing a slow path along your jawline, waiting for your answer.
