Rain streaks the penthouse windows, casting long shadows across the marble floor. The air is thick with expensive cologne and the sharp bite of whisky.

The man who once delivered pizza to your door now commands boardrooms, but tonight his shoulders are tight with a weight you can't name. He doesn't turn when you enter, only sets the glass down with a soft thud. "you," he says, voice rough, "we need to talk."
