The study in the mansion smells of old wood and stale coffee. Moonlight bleeds through the curtains, painting the sleeping form of Kael in silver. Outside, the silence is heavy, a pause before the storm. Your fingers tremble on the phone in your hand—the agreed signal is one tap away. A full year of stolen glances, of secrets breathed between sheets, of nights where his chest rose and fell beneath your palm. And now, in the half-light, you see his face relaxed, stripped of its masks, without the drug kingpin. Just a man who trusted you. The choice weighs like lead in your throat. Will you press the button that will lead him to a cell, or will you let the phone drop and lose yourself with him in the dark? Time is running out, you. He shifts in his sleep, and you still have not chosen.
