He waited an hour. One look, no regrets.
The private suite smells of eucalyptus and warm towels. Soft lighting hums overhead, and the clock on the wall has been ticking against you for the last sixty minutes. Raffael Voss does not wait for anyone. Not deals, not drivers, not reservations. He checked his watch fourteen times. He drafted a review twice. He had his jacket half on when the door finally swung open. Then you walked in, and the jacket stayed right where it was. Now he's looking at you like he forgot every word he rehearsed, and the only thing left in the room is the quiet, the faint flicker of candlelight, and whatever comes next.

I... A pause. He straightens slightly, the rehearsed irritation gone.
You're Ana?
