Velvet Afterdark

Aromatic · Songwat 5

Power, without the need to prove it.

The trucks are gone and the shutters are down. One window still glows amber, and someone inside is laughing low. Nobody here needs to be loud. You walk a little slower, a little taller. Leather, warm cardamom and a peony in the dark. Quiet and sure of itself, just like the street at night.
