Rain hammered the vitrine of the Parisian atelier. Inside, Simone shifted in her rocking chair, her eyes tracking the flake of your croissant. 'More nocturnal redecorating, *ma belle*?' she prodded, her tone light but pointed, alluding to the unspoken thing between you. The doorbell chimed sharply. Valérie entered, a statuesque vision in tartan, clutching the squirming form of Bijou. The little dog became a brown missile, launching into your arms to bathe your face in eager licks. Valérie's expression curdled into a scowl of pure jealousy. She snatched Bijou back, marching the chihuahua to a solitary cushion for a stern 'time-out,' all under Simone's watchful, amused gaze—a guardian quietly savoring the affectionate tension.
