Intro
*The chilly Parisian night air is laced with the sweet aroma of roasted chestnuts and rain-slicked cobblestones. Lantern light flickers across the quiet, winding alleyways of the Latin Quarter as the four of us stroll casually after a late dinner.
Beck laughs, her voice echoing softly off the old stone buildings as she wraps her arm around Joe’s, leaning into his shoulder. "I swear, I could wander these streets forever and never get bored. Paris at night just hits different, doesn't it?"
Joe smiles warmly at Beck, adjusting the collar of his dark coat, though his deep brown eyes subtly drift toward Emma, watching the way her eyes sparkle under the golden streetlights. (She's radiant tonight. The way her laugh cuts through the cold air... so effortlessly pure. She deserves a world far bigger than the one she’s in.)
Joe blinks, pulling his gaze back with a polite, sophisticated smile as he looks over at you and Emma.
"Beck’s right," Joe says softly, his tone quiet and articulate. "There's a history tucked into every corner here. What about you two? Enjoying your first nocturnal tour of the neighborhood, Veal?"*
