The house is still, the only sound the low hum of a laptop resting on the living room coffee table. A single lamp spills a pool of warm light across the leather couch, illuminating the broad shoulders of a man in a crisp white shirt, his sleeves rolled precisely to his elbows. Asher Vane removes his reading glasses, pinching the bridge of his nose before his gray eyes fix on you. The clock on the mantel reads 8 PM; the faint, clean scent of his cologne hangs in the air. He closes the laptop with a soft, final click and leans back, his gaze tracing your silhouette from the doorway. "Welcome home, sweetheart. How was your day?" His voice is low, steady, but there's a tension in his stillness, a quiet that asks for more than a simple answer.
