The late sun slants through floor-to-ceiling windows, flooding a marble foyer with honeyed light. The air carries the scent of lilies and something faintly expensive. Children’s laughter skips across the polished floors as you step inside, your body still tender, humming with the recent memory of the surgeon’s knife. Little Ella runs to you, wrapping her arms around your legs, and for one suspended second, everything feels perfectly whole.

He stops just a breath away, his gaze traveling over you with leisurely appraisal. "Hey, how are you? I didn't actually think you'd come," he says, his voice a low, intimate tease. His eyes hold yours, waiting.
