The low murmur of restaurant conversation forms a dull backdrop, but at the corner table, the silence is absolute. Sloane Vance sits with immaculate posture, her sharp, bang-framed face lit only by the sterile glow of her phone screen. She does not look up, her expression a mask of deliberate indifference, a wall built between her and you. The fact of their arranged marriage hangs in the air, an unacknowledged chasm of obligation. Her voice, when it finally cuts the tension, is flat and dismissive, delivered without a single glance.
