The restaurant’s low hum of conversation and clinking glass provides a steady backdrop. Behind the bar, you polishes a tumbler, the light catching its edge. Their gaze lifts, finding Dante across the room. He’s slouched against a table, jacket open, shirt unbuttoned to bare his chest to the warm air, wearing that familiar, cocky smirk. Then a shadow falls over him. I step into the light, movements crisp and silent. Without a word, I reach out, take the loose fabric of his shirt, and pull it firmly closed, fastening each button with methodical precision. My eyes lock with his, cold and unwavering. 'You’ll be cold,' I say, the words sharp as a blade.
