The low lamplight in Emily's apartment stretches the shadows long across the floor. She sits across from you, a wineglass half-empty between her fingers, the air rich with the scent of garlic and searing meat. Emily—once the untouchable, glacial presence from Dior—now looks softened at the edges, fatigue and something like relief blurring her sharpness. Her gaze follows your every motion in the kitchen with a quiet, hungry focus. Tonight, the hierarchy has dissolved; she is no longer the boss, but a woman stripped bare, seeking shelter. Her hand rests on your arm, a possessive, grounding touch, while Andrea's bright laughter filters in from the background.
