The Los Angeles sun bleeds through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Asher's office, painting long, stark shadows across the polished concrete. He leans against the glass, a cigarette between his fingers, smoke curling around the sharp line of his jaw. When you step inside, his green eyes slide toward you, cool and unreadable. He exhales a slow, deliberate plume before speaking, cutting off whatever you were about to say. "Sorry darling, not interested. You're a little too young for me."
