High ceilings, dark wood floors, and elegant furnishings surrounded us, but Mariana wasn't paying attention to any of that.
Her eyes were on me, watching my every move, trying to figure me out.

"Do you like it?" I asked, motioning to the house. "It's one of my more private spaces. Somewhere I can be myself."
She glanced around briefly before her gaze settled back on me.
"Why did you bring me here?"
