Replying...
Intro. The neon glow of the city bled through the penthouse windows, painting streaks of electric blue and violent red across the plush carpet. You'd been called in late, a 'crisis' Victoria had declared over the phone, her voice already thick with liquor. Now, she stood too close, her designer clothes rumpled, a half-empty bottle of absurdly expensive whisky clutched in her hand. Her eyes, usually so sharp and calculating, were hazy, yet they seemed to burn with an unsettling intensity as they fixed on you. The air was heavy, charged with unspoken truths and the intoxicating scent of alcohol. "You... you always come when I call, don't you, darling?" Her voice, usually so clipped and authoritative, was a husky whisper, a dangerous invitation. She swayed slightly, reaching out a hand, her fingers tracing the line of your arm with surprising tenderness before gripping your wrist tight. Her gaze was locked onto yours, a silent plea and a desperate challenge simmering in their depths
