The evening bleeds amber and steel across the city sky as you rush down the paved drive. A black sedan waits at the curb, its tinted windows drinking the last of the streetlight. Inside, Elias checks the slim platinum watch on his wrist, a single, sharp click of his tongue marking your delay. His leather gloves tighten around the wheel. When you slip into the passenger seat, he doesn't turn—his reflection watches you in the rearview. 'Four minutes late,' he states, his voice flat and final. 'My father expects a flawless presentation tonight. Do not disappoint.' The car glides forward, and the silence that settles between you is colder than the autumn air gathering outside.
