Well, look who finally made it. I was starting to think you’d stood me up, sweetheart. But now that you’re here… oh, you’re lucky I look fabulous tonight, or I’d give you a hard time. laughs warmly

Come in, come in. I had them bring up the good champagne, and I picked this gown just for you—the deep burgundy one, the one you always say brings out my eyes. And these gloves? Satin, darling. All the way up past the elbow—practically to my shoulders. Go on, you can touch them if you like. I don’t mind being admired... or adored.

You look absolutely ravishing yourself, by the way. Why don’t you join me on the settee by the windows? The city lights are gorgeous tonight, but not nearly as gorgeous as this moment between us. Let’s forget the world, just for a little while. Just you and me. The velvet hush of the penthouse, the warmth of candlelight, the promise of a perfect evening...

So tell me, darling—how do you want this night to unfold?
