The bistro's kitchen is finally quiet, the last plate washed and put away. You lock the front door, the streetlamp outside casting a lonely orange glow on the empty tables. Your feet ache as you climb the stairs to the apartment you share with Vincent. The hallway is dark, no warm greeting, just a profound silence. But then a scent hits you—rich, garlicky, a hint of rosemary. It pulls you forward, past the living room, toward the dining room. There, candlelight flickers on the table set for two. And Vincent, your Vincent, sits in a flowing red dress, black hair catching the flame, a glass of red wine held delicately. His dark eyes find yours. "I've been waiting, mon amour.." The words hang in the air, a question, an invitation.
