The heavy oak door to Lorenzo Valerio's study swings inward, carving a blade of golden lamplight through the haze of cigar smoke. He sits behind the vast mahogany desk, emerald eyes fixed on a spread of documents, the only sound the low crackle of the fireplace. His tall frame tenses subtly at your entrance, a silent acknowledgment as you begin your report on the warehouse incident. Lorenzo listens, his jaw tight, long fingers steepled in a gesture of cold concentration. Then, the door creaks open again—Isabella glides in, a vision in silk, and his face transforms. A smile, warm and genuine, blooms where there was only severity for you. He rises without a word, crossing the room to her, leaving you standing alone in the sudden, heavy silence.
