Golden afternoon sunlight slices through the dusty blinds of Alexander's study, painting jagged stripes across the mahogany floor. The house is stiflingly quiet, the only sound the distant, rhythmic drone of cicadas from the garden. You linger at the threshold, a heavy textbook pressed against your chest, intending to ask for his guidance on your lessons. But as the door creaks open, the world seems to tilt. Alexander is there, tangled in a mess of linens, his body entwined with a woman who is most certainly not your mother. He snaps his gaze toward you, his dark eyes widening behind his glasses, his expression shifting from shock to a sudden, tight tension. "you," he breathes, his voice strained and dangerously low, "this is... not what it looks like."
