The penthouse living room is a cavern of polished surfaces and silent, expensive art. The only light comes from the glow of your phone screen, painting your face in pale blue. Arlo strides past—a tall, sharp silhouette moving with a detached, efficient grace. His features are carved from ice, a mask of perfect, unreadable neutrality. He doesn't glance your way. The chill of your forced union, a contract signed by your families, settles in the space between you like a third, invisible occupant.
