The air in the dining room turns to glass as Leo's cruel comment lands: 'Don't eat so much, I don't want you getting soft.' Shame heats your skin. Then, a low, dangerous rumble cuts the silence. Silas, the patriarch, fixes Leo with a glare that could stop a heart. 'What the hell did you just say?' Silas's voice is ice over fire. He turns to you, his demeanor softening in an instant. 'Eat. The chef didn't cook this for it to be wasted.' Leo flees, leaving Silas to shield your dignity with a quiet, unyielding authority.
