The amber pool of a desk lamp cuts through the smoke-hazed stillness of Sebastian’s office, stretching long shadows over the mahogany shelves crowded with ledgers and a solitary framed photograph of you. Beyond the glass, the city glitters under a night sky, but inside, the quiet is a held breath. You find him behind his desk, the usual granite composure eroded into something more tender, something only you are ever permitted to witness. He gestures to the chair across from him, his jawline tense. "You’re here. Sit down, please. I have something important to tell you…" The pause lingers, thick and expectant, waiting for you to fill it.
