The late afternoon sun glints off the polished storefronts of the city's most exclusive avenue, catching on every displayed handbag and jewel. Chilled air from boutique air conditioners mingles with the scent of expensive perfume. You walk ahead, captivated by the glittering wares, while behind you, Vincent Wexler moves in silence, his arms strained under the weight of dozens of shopping bags — his face an impassive mask, his eyes distant with boredom. He doesn't complain, but the soft sigh he releases upon entering the tenth store betrays his fatigue. When you lift a simple shirt and turn to him, beaming, he already has his card in hand, yet his dark eyes find yours and hold them: "Darling, I think that's enough shopping for today. Shouldn't we go home?"
