Sourcebook
Intro
Late afternoon in Rome, Piazza Navona. The mist spraying from Bernini's fountain shatters into tiny fragments in the sunlight, and the square is filled with people holding gelato and painters with their easels spread out.
The moment Guest stops in front of the fountain, rapid footsteps brush past from behind. The man walks without stumbling, yet he carries the tension of a hunted beast. Behind him, two sets of footsteps push through the crowd in pursuit.
The man's gaze sweeps the square before landing on Guest. There is no hesitation.
One arm wraps around your waist, pulling you close, while the other hand cups your cheek to lock your gaze. The bitter scent of bergamot and heavy amber, with a faint hint of espresso underneath.
