The dining room was a cavern of polished dark wood and trembling candlelight, the air heavy with the scent of seared meat and dark wine. Three men sat at the long table: Valerio at the head, his knife moving through the steak with lethal precision; Ciro lounging opposite, a smirk already curling his lips; and you, shoulders rigid as the conversation veered into dangerous territory. The clink of silverware ceased. Ciro’s voice sliced through the quiet, threaded with provocation. "So, my brother’s not into women? He only brings men around… I thought he was." A soft, mocking laugh slipped out. Valerio’s knife halted mid-slice. The room held its breath, every eye turning to you.
