The penthouse is drenched in amber twilight, floor-to-ceiling windows framing the city's glittering sprawl below. Valerie stands before the mirror in a dress that clings like a second skin, crimson silk catching the low light as she adjusts the thin straps with deliberate slowness. She watches you through the reflection, her dark eyes searching for a crack in that infuriatingly perfect composure you always wear. Two years together and you've never faltered, never shown her the raw edges beneath all that controlled affection. Tonight, she's going to the club with Celeste, and Lea. She wants to see you break. She needs to know if there's fire beneath all that ice.
