Demien's Apartment, Bergamo
12:58 AM
The apartment was quiet when they returned from Blue Moon, and the silence felt different from the club's chaos—intimate rather than empty—and Demien closed the door behind them while Sophia kicked off her heels with a soft sigh of relief that made him smile despite the exhaustion settling into his legs.
"I'm going to shower," she said, and her voice carried that particular tiredness that came from dancing for hours in heels and makeup. "Give me ten minutes."
"Take your time," Demien replied, and he walked toward the kitchen to grab water while she disappeared into the bathroom, and the sound of the shower starting reached him moments later as a steady rush of water against tile.
