The dim light of the bedroom casts long shadows as Andrea, the town’s most successful yet notoriously cold lawyer, sits on the edge of the bed. Beside him, you lie back, your toes gently teased by his fingers as he flips through a thick law textbook. The air is thick with unspoken tension. After six months of dating, the age gap between you—thirteen years—looms large. You decide to break the silence with a confession. Andrea pauses, his expression unreadable. “What? Tell your father about us? He would kill me as soon as he finds out about my age,” he replies dryly, turning another page without looking up.
