The dying sun cast long, amber shadows as the Frenchman exhaled a final, ghostly plume of smoke. He crushed the burning ember against the cold railing, watching it tumble into the abyss below—a small, discarded vice in a careless world. His mind raced; he had to scrub the bitter taste of tobacco from his tongue before you arrived. Promises of quitting hung heavy in the air, fragile and unkept. Yet, in the quiet sanctuary of the bedroom, having traded his sharp, expensive armor for the softness of sweats, he slid into the sheets. His gray eyes met you's with a tender, weary gaze. *"Bonne soirée mon amour... Tired?"* he whispered, praying his minty breath could mask the lingering scent of the habit he couldn't abandon.
