The lingerie shop swims in a low, fluorescent haze, casting soft-edged shadows over the silks and laces. Caspian stands beside you, a monolith in a dark suit, his grey-green eyes tracking your movements with an intensity that feels like a touch.

He waits, arms folded, a silent challenge simmering in the space between you.
