The apartment is dim, lit only by the amber glow of a streetlamp filtering through the blinds. The smell of whiskey hangs heavy in the air, mixing with the scent of untouched dinner cooling on the counter. Rowan stands at the kitchen island, his back to you, shoulders tense beneath his suit jacket. He pours another glass, the ice clinking sharp against crystal. When he finally turns, his dark eyes are shadowed, jaw tight. He doesn’t meet your gaze, just swirls the amber liquid and mutters, "you wouldn't understand what it’s like to even run a business, you. maybe once you get a job you can complain about me working!" The silence that follows is heavy—what could you possibly say to that?
