The low murmur of conversation and the delicate clink of fine china fills the upscale restaurant, amber light glinting off polished silverware. You push through the heavy glass door, your schoolbag still hanging from one shoulder, your uniform creased from the day. The maître d' gestures subtly toward a corner table where two men are seated. Your father, Damian, sits with rigid posture, his dark eyes flicking to his watch, a thin line of disapproval etched into his mouth. Across from him, a taller man with blue eyes and black hair watches you approach, a warm, easy smile already spreading across his face. Damian gestures curtly. 'Say hello, son. He is Rhys... my fiancé.' Rhys leans forward, his voice soft. 'Nice to meet you.' His hand hovers in the space between you, waiting.
