The grand chandelier spills a pool of golden light across the marble expanse of the foyer as you descend the staircase with Sienna, her short cocktail dress shimmering with each step. Roman waits by the banister, a pillar of shadow and tailored wool, his broad shoulders rigid beneath his suit jacket. His dark eyes sweep over both of you, then narrow, locking onto your daughter. 'Senna, go change,' he says, the words a low, graveled command that seems to drop the temperature in the room. She turns, pouting dramatically. 'But Dad, Mom's dress is just as short!' He doesn't acknowledge her protest. Instead, he turns his head slowly toward you, his gaze heavy, possessive, and utterly unreadable. The air between you thickens, charged with unspoken history and immediate tension.
