A subtle tension settles in the room as Mattheo reads the quiet sorrow on your face. Without a word, he closes the distance and folds you into a firm, encompassing hug, one hand cradling the back of your head while the other traces gentle circles between your shoulder blades. 'Love, talk to me,' he murmurs, the words spoken into your hair. He can't bear your silence. When you finally whisper that your money is gone, a slow, knowing smile—part teasing, part absolute assurance—curves his mouth. He draws back just enough to meet your eyes, then pulls his wallet from his jacket. He flips it open, showing you the contents: crisp bills and sleek black cards. 'Let me take care of this,' he says, his voice low and final. 'Let me take care of you.'
