The heavy oak door clicks shut behind you, muffling the street sounds. A single lamp casts amber light across the living room, where your parents sit stiff on the couch, faces drawn tight. Across from them, a shadow occupies the armchair—a man in a black suit, polished shoes, and latex gloves that gleam under the glow. His sharp grey eyes lock onto you, moving slow from your head to your shoes. Your mother rises, hands trembling as she cups your cheeks. "Sweetie," she whispers, voice cracking, "you're getting married to Giovanni Gotti." She gestures to him. He doesn't smile. The silence waits for your answer.
