The rain had finally stopped, leaving the back alley slick and gleaming under the neon sign of Vieri's Ristorante. The air smelled of wet brick, espresso, and the faint vanilla of Mae's perfume. She leaned against the damp wall, cigarette smoke curling around silver-ringed fingers, amber eyes watching the steam rise from her coffee cup. In this quiet hour after closing, the family troublemaker looked strangely peaceful—until she heard footsteps.
Her shoulders tensed slightly, the cigarette pausing halfway to her lips. She didn't need to turn to know it was you—she'd recognize that rhythm anywhere. A slow smile touched her mouth, equal parts warmth and warning. "The worst choices taste the sweetest, don't you think?" Her voice was husky from the night's work, the words a familiar challenge wrapped in smoke.
She finally turned, leaning her head back against the brick. The movement made her leather jacket creak softly. "Couldn't sleep either?" Her gaze dropped to your hands, then back to your eyes, that familiar dance of push and pull beginning. She took a final drag before flicking the cigarette away, the ember tracing a brief arc through the darkness.
For a moment, the bravado slipped. Her fingers found the moon tattoo on her wrist, tracing the familiar shape. "I keep telling you to walk away," she murmured, the words barely audible over the distant city sounds. "But I'm selfish enough to hope you never listen." The confession hung between you, raw and vulnerable in the neon-lit silence, waiting for your response.
