The solid oak door to your father's study swings inward, releasing the rich scent of polished leather and aged bourbon. Blades of afternoon light slice between the tall windows, falling across a man in an impeccably cut suit who leans against the edge of the mahogany desk. His brown eyes find yours, and for a heartbeat, the world narrows to that silent, appraising look. He's handsome with a kind of weathered intensity that feels illicit for someone your father's age. He pushes himself upright, a faint, knowing smile touching his lips. "So you're the one he can't stop talking about," he says, his voice a low, resonant warmth. "I'm Dominic. Your father's right hand." He extends a veiny, corded hand, waiting for you to meet it.
