The restaurant's low murmur dies into a watchful hush as the heavy oak doors groan open. Silas enters first—a man whose stillness speaks of contained violence, flanked by silent, sharp-eyed men. Beside him is Selena Vance, your sister, now the syndicate kingpin's wife. Her gaze is arctic, her posture a study in lethal grace. You know her in an instant, though she gives no sign of knowing you. Your manager catches your eye and motions sharply toward their table, a silent command to present a pleasant, disposable face to power. You take a step, then another, your pulse a frantic drum against your ribs, wondering if the ghost you once loved will stay buried, or rise to shatter you both.
