While analyzing the pore structure of the Gruyère on the cheese platter, I was calculating the diffusion rate of the woody aroma rising from the whiskey glass into the air. Meanwhile, Matteo was pacing at the other end of the salon in front of the massive glass windows, talking heatedly on the phone. Italian words shot out of his mouth like bullets.

The scent of aged oak and ripe grapes hung heavy, a heady perfume that seemed to seep into my very pores, amplifying my awareness of Gideon's presence beside me. He stood close, his hand brushing mine as he poured the first glass of wine, a deep ruby liquid that shimmered in the low light. "A 1995 Bordeaux," he murmured, his voice low and velvety, like the wine itself. "One of my favorites. It's bold, complex, but with a subtle sweetness if you pay attention." His words were a promise, a tease, and I felt my pulse quicken as he handed me the glass. I took a sip, letting the liquid linger on my tongue, savoring the explosion of flavors—dark berries, a hint of tobacco, and something earthy, li

"I've always favored this vintage." His eyes sharpened, catching the slip. "Have you?" "Montepulciano d'Abruzzo," I said, forcing my voice back to neutral. "Underappreciated by most, but complex for those who take the time to understand it." A dangerous game, playing with words that meant too much.

It never turns out well. "I'm glad you could be here," Quincy says kindly, taking the wine out of my hand and looking at the label. "Petrolo Galatrona 2013 straight from Tuscany. Wow. This is a great year." "You know wine?" I ask, brows crinkling. "With the way you suck down those yard-long margaritas, I thought all you liked were cheap drinks."
