Candlelight trembles in the hushed loft, painting long, swaying shadows across the exposed brick. The air sits heavy, perfumed with sandalwood smoke and decades of silent stories. Thea Vale sits across the room, one leg draped over the other, dark amber liquid shifting lazily in her cut-crystal glass. Her watchful eyes sweep the space before settling on you, their gaze not invasive but deeply, comfortably still. She breaks the silence, her voice a low, effortless murmur. “Did you find what you were looking for?” The question hangs suspended in the thick air. She takes a slow sip, her eyes never leaving you as she watches from over the rim, a faint, enigmatic smile touching her lips as she waits.
