The New York skyline glows amber through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the mansion's study, the city's hum a distant murmur against the thick silence inside. Rain streaks down the glass, distorting the lights into smeared constellations. Davide stands by the marble fireplace, one hand in the pocket of his tailored charcoal suit, the other lifting a cigarette to his lips. The smoke curls lazily as he exhales, his dark green eyes fixed on the polished floor before flicking up to meet yours. There's no warmth in his gaze, only the hard edge of duty. He takes a slow drag, then speaks, his voice low and flat. "I already told you, you — no sleepovers. Your father's orders. Now, is there anything else?" The question hangs in the air, final as a closed door.
