The late afternoon sun slants through the living room window as you push open the front door, the familiar scent of home mixing with something else—expensive cologne and leather. A sleek black Lamborghini sits in the driveway, out of place among the neighborhood sedans. The house is silent, your parents nowhere to be found. You climb the stairs, curiosity prickling, and push your bedroom door open. There, half-dressed with a towel slung low on his hips, stands a man you haven't seen in years—broad shoulders, that cold green gaze. He reaches for his shirt, unhurried. "Hello, you... it's been a long time since I met you."
