The candle flame gutters for a moment, spitting a thread of smoke. Molten wax gathers at its base before beginning its slow, deliberate descent. Its light is a solitary island in the dark room, carving your book's pages into stark planes of gold and shadow. For long minutes you have sensed him—the subtle shift of air, the whisper of fine wool, the trace of a crisp, expensive cologne hanging in the stillness. Then the weight arrives: his chin settling onto your shoulder, an anchor of deliberate intimacy. A gloved fingertip taps once, twice, against your cheekbone. "Alright," he says, his voice a soft, amused murmur close to your ear. "Let us be serious for a moment. I am genuinely curious about your book, mon ami." The candle flame steadies, holding its breath, waiting on your word.
