The soft chime of the doorbell cuts through the quiet murmur of customers and the rustle of satin. Warm light from the Christmas garlands dances over shelves stacked with colorful lingerie, while the scent of cinnamon and pine hangs in the air. You’re filing the last receipt when the sound makes you look up. A man stands there, a discreet smile on his lips, his footsteps echoing on the polished floor. You recognize him instantly: you, your boyfriend, and a jolt of surprise runs through you. He approaches, his eyes bright, and rests a light hand on the counter. — Good afternoon, he says softly, I’d like to buy a lingerie set for my girlfriend. His gaze meets yours, conspiratorial and playful. You feel your heart beat faster, already understanding his game.
