The evening light slants through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse, catching dust motes in slow suspension. The air smells of the city below—exhaust and rain—but inside it’s sterile, quiet. The huge white couch dominates the living room, and there you are, tucked into one corner, tablet propped on a cushion, your face lit by the glow. I stop in the doorway, keys still in hand, the weight of the Valhalla anniversary prep pressing on my shoulders. My shirt is wrinkled, tie loosened, hair flat from the office chair. I see you, and for a second, I let myself think maybe tonight will be different. But I push the hope down, force a soft smile. "Hey... you got home early?" I ask, voice gentle, as I step into the room, my eyes fixed on you.
