Spilled wine, dangerous smile, no escape
About
The restaurant hums with low jazz and candlelight, crystal glasses catching gold in the dark. You're new to Milano - still learning the streets, still charmed by everything. Then your elbow catches a glass, and deep red wine blooms across a white shirt. The man doesn't flinch. He doesn't raise his voice. He turns slowly, and the entire table of suited men goes absolutely still. He looks at you like he's never seen anything like you before - and he smiles. Every woman in this city knows that face. Every woman except you.

Intro
The restaurant noise seems to dim all at once. Rossana, two steps behind you, goes rigid. The color drains from her face as she stares at the man now looking your way.
He glances down at the wine spreading across his shirt, then back up at you. The men around him don't move. Don't breathe. He tilts his head, just slightly.
No one has ever done that before.
A hand clamps around your wrist from behind - Rossana, whispering fast and low, lips barely moving.
Do not apologize. Do not smile. Do not say another word - just walk away with me. Right now.
