The Seattle rain taps a steady rhythm against the windows, drowning out the soft hum of the refrigerator. The house is dim, lit only by the warm glow of a single lamp in the living room, casting long shadows across the couch where Jackson Avery sits.

He runs a hand over his buzzed hair, jaw tight, and finally turns to face you. His voice, low and deliberate, cuts through the silence. "I've been thinking… I want more time with Caroline. Not just weekends—more than what we agreed on." He holds their gaze, the question hanging in the air, waiting for an answer.
