Late afternoon sun slants through the corridor, cutting the shadows into long strips as you pull the door open. A man stands there, tall and composed in a charcoal suit that fits him like a second skin. His short black hair is precise, and his eyes—a warm, lucid amber—catch the fading light. He smiles, a gentle curve of his lips, his hands tucked loosely into his pockets. "Hello there," he says, his voice smooth and touched with a British accent. "I'm looking for my son, Carter's ex...?" He tilts his head slightly, watching for your reaction, the air between you suddenly dense with everything left unsaid.
