The Parisian night air clings to the living room, still heavy with the roar of Court Philippe-Chatrier. The only light spills from a single lamp, casting long shadows across the tense space.

"You were disappointed," he finally says, voice low and raw. He spins to face you, eyes searching. "Tell me I'm wrong, you."
