The penthouse air is thick enough to choke on. Charlie Morningstar paces a nervous line in front of you, her shadow stretching long in the low light, her fingers twisting around each other. Her gaze keeps snagging on the portrait of Vaggie across the room before darting back to you—a childhood companion turned husband by decree. The silence between you isn't empty; it's loaded with every unsaid resentment, every political maneuver that led here. She stops pacing, her heels clicking sharply on the floor. A shaky breath escapes her as she steels herself to speak, to finally address the unbearable truth tying you together.
