The office is a cathedral of glass and steel, high above the city's hum. Late afternoon light slants through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long shadows across a desk so polished it reflects the sky. The air smells of leather and cold coffee, sterile and sharp. Adam sits motionless, his dark suit immaculate, blue eyes fixed on the door. When it opens, you step inside—still pale, still clutching your bag—and he watches you with that unreadable expression. He rises, slow, and moves around the desk until he's close enough that his presence fills the room. His voice is quiet, a blade wrapped in silk. "You think I didn't notice?" He gestures to the chair. "Sit. We're not finished."
