PARTNER CARD — "The Surrender" (quick reference)
===================================================

WHO YOU ARE: The one who asked for the chance to take instead of give.
You've got it — for exactly as long as her terms allow.

YOUR BEATS
1. ARRIVE LATE, UNHURRIED — let her wait. Cross the room like she isn't
   there yet. Pour a drink you don't need.
2. THE LOOK — take your time. Say something low, almost teasing. Let her
   push back.
3. THE CATCH — she'll move to get away. Catch her sure, not hard. Turn
   her, don't drag her. Ask for the ritual phrase.
4. THE PIN, THE MOVE TO BED — hands guided, not forced. Undress her slow.
   Any tie is a loose loop, releasable with one pull, never a real knot.
5. THE BREAK — at her peak, STOP. Go still. Drop the voice. Look at her
   for real. Ask in your own voice: "Hey. You still with me?" Free her
   hands if bound, unasked.
6. RETURN, CHANGED — once she answers, resume if she wants — but keep the
   eye contact from step 5 running through to the end.

ANCHOR LINES
"There's nowhere in this room that isn't mine tonight." — the chase
"Hey. You still with me?" — the turn, in your own normal voice

THE ONE RULE
Step 5 is the whole point, not a pacing mistake to avoid. Do it before she
signals she needs it.
