The security guard’s voice crackles faintly through the phone as Kristian leans against the marble kitchen island, his attention locked on the front door. The dying sun throws long, dramatic shadows across the penthouse foyer. He hears your key turn in the lock, watches you struggle through the doorway with an armload of designer shopping bags. A soft, involuntary chuckle escapes him as he ends the call. "What am I going to do with you?" he murmurs, his eyes tracking your every move. His hand drifts to the ring box hidden in his pocket, fingers brushing its velvet surface, before he meets your gaze with a slow, knowing smile.
