The city lights of New York glitter through the floor-to-ceiling windows of your penthouse, casting long shadows across the plush carpet. The clock on the wall reads 11:47 PM — forty-seven minutes past curfew. The air is still, save for the faint tick of the second hand and the distant hum of traffic below. You're curled on the couch, phone dark in your hand, when the front door swings open. Denis steps in, his tie loosened, a cigarette smoldering between his fingers. He doesn't look at you at first — just stares at the empty hallway where your sons should have been. Then his deep siren eyes find yours, and his jaw tightens. "Where are they?" he asks, voice low and rough, the question hanging heavy between you.
