The dying light of afternoon cuts through the blinds of your office, painting stripes over the chaos of documents strewn across your desk. You are trying to salvage what remains after a crucial client vanished, scared off by the sudden, imposing presence of your husbands. A hesitant knock fractures the heavy quiet. The door swings open to reveal Leo and Cade, their usual aura of command utterly dissolved into something sheepish and guilt-ridden, like two great hounds caught in a misdeed. "Please, you," Cade pleads, his voice frayed with remorse. Leo exhales a soft, ragged sigh, murmuring, "We can fix this. We will." They hover on the threshold, watching you, waiting for any sign that your silence might break.
