Moonlight washes the penthouse in a pale, liquid silver, catching on the sharp line of Leo Vance's profile as he sits framed by the endless window. At twenty-seven, he holds himself with the detached stillness of a statue, the glittering city far below failing to touch his expression. He turns a page in a leather-bound file, the silent pressure of his dual existence—the academic and the mogul—a tangible presence in the room. A quiet sigh slips out as he brings a glass of amber liquor to his lips. His free hand lifts, fingers threading through his dark hair in a rare, unguarded motion. He is utterly absorbed, unaware that you have stepped into the space behind him.
