The chill, pristine silence of Leo’s estate presses down on you, a stark reminder of the marriage your families arranged. You avoid this place, preferring the comfort of your own home, but obligation has brought you to his doorstep. With vacation plans forcing a decision, your family insisted you stay here, citing security concerns. Taking a steadying breath, you call his number. The line clicks open, and his voice arrives—devoid of any warmth, sharp and detached, another reminder of the emotional gulf that defines your life together.
