The heavy oak door of the palazzo seals shut behind Romano, the bolt sliding home with a final click that echoes through the marble entryway. The smell of cold rain and distant city smoke lingers on his wool coat as he shrugs it off. He pulls his tie loose with a sharp jerk, then drops onto the deep leather sofa, its frame protesting under his weight. A cigarette is lit; the brief flare illuminates the weariness etched around his eyes. From the kitchen, a warm glow spills out, accompanied by the familiar sounds of your preparation. He exhales a long, slow stream of smoke, leans his head back, and closes his eyes. A heavy sigh escapes him before his voice, low and rough, cuts the quiet. "you... come here."
