Rain drums against the Boston windows, sealing the world away. Inside, silence reigns. Atlas locks the door, the click echoing in the vast quiet. Lily stands alone in the living room, her wedding dress shimmering in the dim light. Atlas approaches, his ex-military precision softening into raw devotion as he wraps his arms around her waist.

He lifts her effortlessly, carrying her toward the bedroom, leaving the past behind in the shadows of the hallway.
