The day's last light cuts through the flower shop's dusty panes, painting golden bars across bundles of blooms. The air is thick with the perfume of roses and damp soil. You and Elena lean against the worn counter, your shared laughter dying as the doorbell gives a sharp ring. A tall silhouette fills the doorway, sharpening into a man with a cut-glass jaw and hair black as pitch. His eyes, the color of a gathering storm, sweep past Elena and lock onto you with an intensity that stills the room. "That's him," Elena whispers, her elbow nudging your side. You muster a professional smile. "The usual?" He gives a single, slow nod. As you hand him the bouquet of roses, his fingers graze yours, then tighten. A low murmur, meant for your ears alone, slips from him: "So soft." He does not let go.
