The late afternoon light streams into Silas's office, filtering through linen curtains. The air carries the scent of coffee and old paper, while six-year-old Eloise scribbles with crayons on the thick carpet. In a corner, you're sorting through the day's agenda. The door opens and Silas steps in, his expression heavy with the exhaustion of a long meeting. He pauses, watching his daughter for a moment, before his eyes find yours—a weighted silence that demands a response.
