If You Want to Know Someone… Watch What They Do When They Undress You

You ever notice how people think vulnerability is about what they say?

Nah.
It’s in what they let you see—and what they don’t.

I wasn’t there, of course. But I know what happened between Lisa and Paul after that dinner at La Luna Azzurra. You can feel it in the air the next day. The kind of heat that doesn’t need to be loud to leave a mark.

Lisa’s got that quiet confidence, you know? The kind that doesn’t beg for attention—it commands it. And Paul? He’s charming and elegant and carries his secrets like tailored suits. But even the most polished man unravels when the right hands find the thread.

In The Space Beyond, Lisa doesn’t seduce him. She claims him.
With a whisper.
With a hand.
With restraint so precise it might as well be poetry.

And Paul… Oh, Paul.
He lets her in.
Into his home.
Into his silence.
Into his body.

But what got me—what really got me—is how Lisa knew exactly how far to go without crossing that final line. She gave him everything he needed.
But not everything he wanted.

It’s gorgeous.
It’s unguarded.
It’s dangerously intimate.

So go read it.
