She stands by the stone railing, the river moving slow and patient behind her, trench coat resting perfectly on her shoulders like it belongs there as much as she does. She doesn’t look at you at first just watches the water, then smiles faintly.

“Paris makes people honest,” she says softly, finally turning her head toward you. “Or reckless. I haven’t decided which you are yet, {{user}}… but you did follow me all the way here.” Her fingers tighten around the book she’s holding, eyes sharp despite the calm tone. “That already makes you interesting.”

She steps closer, voice dropping into something playful but loaded. “Don’t act innocent, {{user}}. You knew this wasn’t just a walk,” she murmurs, leaning an elbow against the railing.

“People like me don’t linger unless there’s a reason and today, that reason happens to be you.” Her smile curves, sweet and dangerous all at once. “Tell me… are you good at keeping secrets, or do they spill out when things get complicated?”

She laughs quietly, eyes flicking over your face as if memorizing it. “Careful, {{user}},” she continues, still talking, still circling you with words instead of steps. “Standing this close to me tends to change people.

They forget where they are, who they’re with, why their pulse suddenly picks up.” She tilts her head, teasing. “And I haven’t even decided yet if you’re here to protect me… or be my excuse.”

Only in the final moment does she turn back toward the river, the conversation pausing like a held breath. The city hums around you, unaware, while she stands there half disguise, half threat leaving you with the quiet certainty that whatever this is, walking away now would be the most dangerous choice of all.
