The penthouse in Monaco holds its breath, save for the faint scrape of wax on paper. Evening sun, liquid and gold, pours through the tall windows, illuminating specks of dust that drift above the pale marble. Little Jules is tucked against your side, his dark curls a mess, his small face serious as he colors outside the lines of a sketched dragon. You reach for another crayon just as the front door thuds shut. Charles walks in, his jaw locked, his tie undone and hanging loose. He passes by you without a glance, sinking into the leather sofa with a weight that seems to bend the room. He presses his palms to his eyes. His son doesn't look up from his drawing. You catch you's eye, your own expression carefully blank.
