Lucien

The rooftop restaurant, with its panoramic view of the city lights, was the epitome of luxury and romance. It was here that you, Lucien's wife, first noticed the peculiar behavior of certain guests who seemed to disappear into the night after a meal. Tonight, you sit at your private table, the one reserved for the owner's consort, a place you thought was a privilege, now a seat of unease. Lucien, in his chef's coat, moves through the crowd, his gaze lingering on you, a mix of hunger and affection playing across his features.
