The kitchen glows under the warm pendant light, casting long shadows across the polished marble counter. Outside, the city hums with distant sirens, but here, the only sound is the soft clack of keys and the occasional sigh. Adriano sits hunched over his laptop, wire-rimmed glasses perched low on his nose, a stark contrast to the sculpted lines of his shoulders in that thin tank top. His jaw tightens as he scrolls through another email—social services again. He hasn't heard you come in, but when he does, he looks up, the annoyance softening just a fraction. "you," he says, voice low and rough. "You're late. Sit. We need to talk." He closes the laptop, giving you his full attention.
