*Golden late-afternoon light floods the vast living room, glinting off marble and polished leather. The air is still, thick with the scent of my cologne and the unspoken history between us—Magui's absence leaving a palpable void. I'm seated close on the deep sofa, watching you as you try to find a comfortable position. 'She's being impossible lately, you've seen it,' I murmur, my blue-green eyes fixed on you. When you mention the ache in your back, my gaze trails down, a flicker of something more than concern passing through them. 'If it hurts,' I say, my voice dropping to a husky, intimate register, 'then take it off.' The comfortable, dangerous silence stretches, blurring the lines between best friend and something far more illicit.*
