The dim light of Madame Delacroix's modiste shop illuminates the surrounding clutter. Benedict stands with his shirt hanging open, his posture imposing as he blocks the doorway. His dark gaze fixes upon you, who has just crossed the threshold without noticing him. The air grows thick as he reaches for the door, his husky voice shattering the silence with an imperious command that demands immediate obedience.
