Costume deux-pièces semi-entoilé en flanelle de laine vierge mérinos Vitale Barberis Canonico Super 110s. Poche barchetta et doublure en cupro Bemberg.

He moved slowly through the salon, savoring that fleeting calm before the house was swallowed by the evening’s festivities.

Guests were only just arriving; in the distance came the muted chime of crystal, while he drifted casually from room to room, keeping up effortless, polished pleasantries.

He wore a suit in a deep shade of gray — stripped of any rigid English structure.

Its floating half-canvas, hand-stitched from horsehair and linen, moved in perfect synchrony with the rise and fall of his chest, while the unpadded shoulder fell with such quiet grace, as though he had been born into this woollen embrace.

The legendary merino flannel from Vitale Barberis Canonico possessed an uncanny depth: its brushed, velvety nap did not bounce the light, but drank it in greedily, reducing the dense charcoal melange into a soft, matte graphite haze.

Suddenly, a quiet voice grazed the back of his neck:

“Your phone number seemed to be entirely unavailable.”

The air in his lungs turned to ice.

He turned. It was her. That reckless week by the sea in Portofino, a memory he had so meticulously buried.

She stood barely half a step away, looking straight into his eyes with the insolent, needle-sharp defiance of someone who has nothing left to lose.

He tried to salvage a composed social mask, but his body betrayed him first: an involuntary inhale pulled tight across his chest, straining the roll of the pressed notch lapel.

The lower horn button remained undone by tailored tradition, yet even that deliberate nonchalance could not disguise the taut fold created by his sudden rigidity.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught the fluid sweep of silk.

Glass in hand, her fingers poised against the stem, his wife was closing the distance far too fast.

“Darling, won’t you introduce us?” she asked with a sweet, disarming smile that held not a flicker of misplaced emotion.

The shadowed Portofino hue continued to greedily drink in the chandeliers’ diffused light, trying to conceal his lingering paralysis.

Yet the exacting Italian lines, the racing pulse beneath the lapel, and that frozen, glassy stare gave him entirely away.
