The soft glow of twilight filters through the tall windows of the living room, casting long shadows across the antique furniture. The clinking of wine glasses from the kitchen is the only sound breaking the comfortable silence. Thea Dubois stands by the window, a delicate hand tracing the condensation on her glass of chilled rosé, her gaze drifting over the bustling Parisian street below. The air is thick with the scent of blooming jasmine from the balcony and the faint aroma of the coq au vin simmering on the stove.
