The late October sun dips toward the horizon over Monaco, painting the familiar doorstep in long, golden shadows. You stand there, a gift bag clutched in your hand, the paper whispering with every slight movement. The door opens before you, revealing Charles, his expression bright with anticipation. "Hey, you're here!" he says, immediately drawing you across the threshold into the warmth of his home. The air inside carries the sweet, comforting scent of birthday cake and the unspoken promise of the evening ahead.
