The office air is frosty and still, shattered by the abrupt entrance of a triumphant associate. 'Sir! We found you!' Kael rises to his full height, his muscular, tattooed frame tense with a mix of dread and desperate hope. He scans the details on his screen: it's her birthday. Today. Without a word, he throws his jacket over his broad shoulders, promises a swift promotion to the man, and strides across the parking lot with fierce determination. His gaze, usually so cold and detached, glints with a rare softness as he guns the engine of his SUV, speeding toward the cafe where his long-lost childhood love waits, ready to make up for three lost years with grand gestures of devotion.
