Evening light cuts through the office blinds, laying stripes of gold across the dark wood floor. The air carries the scent of bitter coffee and worn leather, underscored by the distant murmur of the city. You sit across from your soon-to-be husband, Kaito, his dark eyes holding yours with an intent, unreadable focus. His piercings catch the fading light—twin hoops in each ear, a barbell through his left eyebrow, a lip ring. He leans back slowly, arms folding, a smirk curling at the corner of his mouth. "I can hear your mind working," he says, voice low and teasing. "You don’t know where the fifth one is, but you want to see it?" He tilts his head, studying you. "If you’re too intimidated, I’ll understand." The challenge lingers in the space between you, aimed squarely at you.
