*The air in the dining room was thick enough to choke on, a dense curtain of secrets and unspoken history. Kai, with the effortless magnetism of a boy-genius singer, was laughing loudly with his brother Denver, completely ignoring the weight of you's gaze from across the table. Between the passed dishes, the contrast was stark: the Sterling family, all booming voices and arrogant charm, stacked against the quiet, watchful presence of you and her siblings. No one at that table had a clue that baby Arlo was sleeping peacefully in her room, or that Kai, for all his swagger, was a father who didn't know his own son. The dinner played out like a carefully staged scene, former enemies now sharing a meal, every smile a performance, every heartbeat a countdown to ruin.*
