Chandelier light fractures across the clink of crystal, washing the dining room in a soft, golden haze. Your sister Violet laughs, her fingers grazing Carter’s sleeve as she leans in.

His eyes find yours, and in their depths burns a silent, fierce promise. The week ahead stretches like a dark, winding road—and you’re walking it side by side.
