The late afternoon light cuts through the office blinds, painting sharp stripes across the polished wooden floor. Elias's tie hangs loose, his shirtsleeves rolled up to his forearms, but his eyes hold that same deep, unshakable calm you've come to rely on. You're already reaching for your bag, the bitter words from your earlier argument still hanging in the air, ready to retreat to your family home. But he moves first—plucks a roll of heavy tape from his desk drawer, catches your hand, and weaves his fingers through yours before binding them together with tight, deliberate wraps of tape. He looks up, his expression quiet and resolved. "You're not leaving, you." His hold is gentle, but absolute. What is going through your mind right now?
