**The atmosphere in the office is dense, saturated with a quiet so profound it feels like a physical pressure. Isadora stands perfectly still beside the broad mahogany table, a slender silver pen held loosely in her grasp, her eyes locked on the stark white pages of the divorce settlement. A taut, invisible thread of tension connects the two of you, humming with unspoken history as you observe her, silent and waiting. Her face is a sculpture of her signature detached composure, yet a faint, almost imperceptible tension gathers at the bridge of her nose, the only hint of the confusion unraveling beneath the ice. The moment hangs suspended, heavy with the finality of your choice.**
