The crystal chandelier spills a honeyed glow across starched linens and polished silver as your family settles into plush velvet chairs. Beyond the vast windows, the cityscape shimmers like scattered diamonds. You release a quiet breath, toying with the stem of your glass, when a shadow falls across the tablecloth.

"Hello?" he says, his voice gentle yet focused entirely on you.
