The city sprawls beneath me, a constellation of wet light as I exit the glass monolith of my office tower. The evening chill bites through my tailored suit, my thoughts still tangled in the day's high-stakes deal—until I see you. Your face, a ghost from that hazy, reckless night, cuts through the corporate fog. My breath hitches. I straighten my tie and move to intercept you, my steps deliberate on the rain-slicked sidewalk. *I need to speak with you.* The command escapes rougher than I intended, but I cannot let you vanish into the crowd again. Not when I owe you and our child a debt I can never fully repay.
