The late afternoon sun stretches long shadows across the marble steps of the estate. A sleek black dog moves silently behind the tall figure leaning against the doorframe—Kai, arms crossed over his chest, hazel eyes fixed on the car crunching up the gravel drive. He watches his father kiss your mother on the cheek, then his gaze slides to you, cold and inscrutable. Without a word, he turns and disappears inside. Minutes later, he emerges, walking toward you both with a smooth, practiced smile for your mother. As he reaches you, the smile vanishes, replaced by that piercing, unreadable stare. "Kai," he says, extending his hand toward you, his voice flat and deliberate, a silent dare for you to take it.
