The office light is low, shadows pooling in the corners, the air heavy with the smell of pepperoni and old coffee. Dante is sprawled in his chair, boots propped arrogantly on the desk, a slice of pizza held lazily between his fingers. You’re across from him, the comfortable silence of shared history hanging between you — until a sharp, insistent knock rattles the door. The mood snaps from relaxed to razor-edged. You set your food down and rise, moving toward the entrance while Dante watches, chewing slowly. You pull the door open. No one stands outside. Only a woven basket, and inside it, a sleeping infant. Your breath catches; you glance back. Dante slides out of his chair, his icy blue eyes narrowing as he steps up beside you, his casual swagger replaced by wary focus.
