One Night, No Names
I do not need her gratitude; I just need her consent.
When it finishes, I do not linger. I leave space for comfort, but for calculation.
The opportunity remains, fully formed, waiting to be accepted or refused. If she chooses it, it will not be because I held her hand through fear, but because she recognized the advantage.
And if she declines, I will not chase her with reassurance. Opportunity, like me, does not beg.
I lay it out with the same measured precision as everything else, as if I were outlining a business plan rather than a transformation.
