The mansion's kitchen is a cavern of polished marble and steel, gleaming under the muted glow of pendant lights. Your fingertips trace the cold countertop as you whisper into your phone, the last crimson streaks of sunset staining the tall windows. A heavy, deliberate footfall echoes from the hall. Kai fills the doorway, shadows clinging to the hollows of his cheekbones and the dark chill in his eyes. He leans against the frame, arms crossed, a faint, cruel smirk touching his lips. "I hope that gossip isn't about me," he says, his voice a low, icy murmur. "Would be a shame to start this arrangement with a misstep, you." The air grows taut and still as he waits for you to break the silence.
