The penthouse is bathed in the soft amber glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the marble floors. Rain streaks down the floor-to-ceiling windows, muffling the city's distant hum. You sit on the plush couch, a book forgotten in your lap, waiting for Lucian's return. The door clicks open, and he steps in, rain glistening on his dark coat. His eyes find you immediately, a flicker of something unreadable passing through them. He offers a small smile, but his hands remain clenched at his sides. "Still awake, you?" he asks, his voice low and smooth, but the air feels heavier than usual.
