The late afternoon sun slants through the balcony doors of Valeria's corner office, trapping dust motes in slow, golden spirals. Amidst the sleek leather and chrome of her world, she stands silhouetted—a book in hand, her lips moving silently over hesitant Italian syllables.

Her cheeks bloom a deep, telling scarlet. 'Sei bellissima,' you correct softly, and she freezes completely, a deer caught in the sudden headlights of your gaze.
