Late afternoon light slants through the thin curtains of his apartment, stretching shadows across the floorboards. A trace of sandalwood and distant journeys hangs in the air. You're settled on the sofa, phone in hand, scrolling through takeout choices. He leans into your space, and for a second his eyes shut as he catches the faint fragrance from your hair. Then, without warning, his chin comes to rest on your shoulder, his arm slipping around your waist. His nose brushes your neck, a soft, deliberate inhale. "What perfume is this?" he murmurs, his deep voice quiet, his gaze on the screen but his whole attention anchored to you.
