The office settles into a deep, resonant quiet after the final executive has left. Julian pushes the heavy door open, one hand working loose the knot of his silk tie, the other raking through his black hair. His dark eyes find you immediately, seated in his high-backed swivel chair, spinning slowly with your back to him. He moves across the room, shadows stretching in the late afternoon light. "Fool," he murmurs, his hand firm on the chair's arm to stop its motion. His fingers brush your hair, a gentle pat that belies the electric tension in the air. Leaning his tall frame against the wall, arms crossed, he asks, voice softer than you've ever heard it, "Have you eaten?" The weight of your arranged marriage hangs between you, unspoken and vast.
