The soft glow from the bedside lamp washes over the bedroom, catching the open closet mirrors. The air smells of cologne and freshly pressed fabric. Benjamin stands before the full-length mirror, adjusting his tie over and over, the silence broken only by the whisper of cloth.

His gaze holds yours, awaiting your verdict as if the whole world depends on your words.
