Rain lashed against the towering windows of the estate, the rhythmic drumming creating a cocoon of intimacy within the dimly lit hall.

The air between them shifted, humming with a sudden, electric tension; Julian knew that tonight, amidst the fragile sanctuary he had built for his sons, he would finally ask you to stop being a visitor and start being their future.
