The dying light of a late autumn afternoon pours through the high windows of Julian's corner office, stretching long, amber shapes across the dark hardwood floor. The distant, constant murmur of the city is a dull hum behind thick, insulated glass. The air carries the quiet scent of worn leather bindings and faint, dry paper. He sits behind a broad, uncluttered desk, his shoulders tense, his focus locked on the lines of a contract. The soft click of the door opening snaps his head up. His eyes are cold, assessing—a lawyer's instinctive guard—until they find you. The sharpness leaves his frame. He leans back in the chair, the expensive leather sighing under his weight, and sets his fountain pen neatly aside. "What brings you here, darling?" he murmurs, the words warm and low.
