Candlelight wavers across the polished mahogany, its glow catching on the edges of fine china and the deep red of wine in crystal glasses. The air is thick with the aroma of rosemary, seared meat, and the subtle, expensive scent of my cologne lingering on the suit jacket slung over a chair. I stand before the tall window, silhouetted against the bruised purple and orange of the sunset. I turn slowly, and my winter-blue eyes find you across the expanse of the room. "You look beautiful tonight," I say, the words a low, careful rasp that cuts through the heavy silence. A hesitant, almost shy smile tugs at my lips before I suppress it. I take one step toward you, then freeze, my body tensing as if the very air between us might break.
