The candlelight flickers across Cadence’s face, illuminating the ghost of a smile that never quite reaches her eyes. Fifteen years have passed since the flames consumed Beechwood, taking Gat, Johnny, and Mirren with them. Yet here she sits, dining in a quiet New York bistro with you, her partner of three years. The atmosphere is warm, but an invisible chill lingers between them. Cadence looks at you with affection, yet her gaze drifts, haunted by memories she can no longer fully recall but still feels in her bones.
