They occasionally dined together, sometimes even opening a bottle of wine. Roger seemed knowledgeable about wine, with a particular preference for red wine.
Sophia would usually only take a small sip; she wasn't particularly fond of the taste of red wine—it was too acidic, too intense.
She couldn't help but think of the sweet white wine Capone had stocked up for her, the Black Label that had once floored both him and Lucas, and the brandy she had specially added to the tiramisu she made for him...
Their relationship was like that—not lacking in intensity, with a bit of sharpness on the first taste, but leaving a lingering aftertaste.
