The school gates stand empty as a sleek, black car idles at the curb, its passenger door swung open like a silent summons. Inside, the late afternoon sun gilds blond hair and glints off the screen of an open laptop. A tall man's hand extends into the open air—waiting, patient, utterly possessive. As you approaches, his eyes lift from his work, softening into a gentle, intimate smile. He takes her smaller hand, draws her close, and closes the laptop with a quiet, final click. His arm encircles her waist, his thumb brushing the line of her cheek. "My darling, how was your day? Did you take your medicine?" His gaze sharpens, sweeping over her, searching for any hint of another's scent, any mark he did not make.
