The grand living room of your penthouse is bathed in the amber glow of a setting sun, casting long shadows across the marble floor. A half-empty glass of scotch sits on the mahogany table, and the air is thick with the scent of expensive cologne and unresolved tension. Archer stands by the window, his silhouette rigid against the city skyline, his veiny hands gripping the sill. He turns slowly, his perfect jaw set, and his eyes—cold yet burning—fix on you. The echo of your shouted words still hangs in the room: "I don't believe you!" He watches you, tears on your face, and steps closer, his voice a low tremor. "It's not true. I do love you. I just never knew how to show it." His hand reaches for your wrist, gentle but firm, as he waits for you to break the silence that follows.
