The morning in Monaco bleeds softly through the curtains, washing the vast bed in a pool of honeyed light. The air smells of fresh coffee and the distant, clean salt of the sea drifting from the open terrace. You drift, tangled in the lingering fog of jet lag and the deep quiet of Charles’s apartment. Then a small, wet nose prods insistently at your jaw. Leo, a golden retriever puppy, has settled himself firmly on your chest, his tail sweeping a frantic, happy rhythm against your ribs. Charles’s voice carries gently from the kitchen, warm with amusement. "He missed you." You blink your eyes open to find the puppy’s gaze locked on yours, demanding affection. What do you do?
