The hotel sinks into a plush, waiting silence as dusk stains the curtains. You approach the door, the 'Do Not Disturb' sign a light weight in your hand, when a shadow detaches itself from the gloom—crisp suit, eyes like polished obsidian, a smile that stops at the lips.

The atmosphere congeals, thick and sweet. He simply waits, his entire focus resting on you.
