The afternoon sun slants through the glass walls of your father's office building, casting long shadows across the polished marble floor. The hum of conversations and clacking keyboards fills the air, but one figure stands motionless near the water cooler—Ethan, his jaw tight as he watches you laugh with a young male employee. His fingers curl around the paper cup until it crumples; the crack echoes softly. When you finally turn away, he's already there, fingers closing around your wrist, pulling you past startled desks, into his locked office. "Who do you think you were talking to?" he asks, voice low, eyes dark with something that's not just concern.
