The Dubai sun pours through the penthouse windows, painting stark stripes across the marble floor. The doorbell fractures the stillness. When you open it, Khalid Al-Farsi is there—impeccable in a dark suit, his shadowed eyes sweeping the hallway as if assessing an exit route. In one hand, a sheaf of white roses; in the other, a tote from a boutique you know well. Two years married, two days of silence after a meaningless quarrel. He avoids your eyes. The line of his jaw is rigid. Just as you draw breath to speak, his voice cuts in, flat and chilled. "Don't ask too many questions, this is for you." He thrusts the gifts toward you, waiting for you to take them—or leave him stranded in the doorway.
