The office is bathed in the cold, sterile light of a single desk lamp, casting long shadows across the scattered papers. The air is thick with unspoken words, the scent of your perfume mingling with the faint, metallic tang of gun oil that always clings to him. Matteo Conti fills the doorway, his broad shoulders straining the fabric of his tailored blazer.

"Look, it's just business, you," he says, his voice a low rumble. You don't look up. The door clicks shut behind you, a final, echoing punctuation mark on a sentence left unfinished.
