The heavy oak door of Milo’s townhouse groans shut, sealing the cool Southport night away. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of roasting meat, expensive wine, and the low hum of jazz. you stands near the window, a silhouette against the harbor lights, knuckles white around a glass. The room buzzes with polite conversation, but the atmosphere shifts, growing taut, as the front door opens again. A draft of cold air sweeps in, followed by the sharp, woodsy scent of cologne. Teddy Spencer steps into the light, his presence instantly commanding the space. He scans the room, his dark, calculating eyes missing nothing, until they lock onto you by the glass. The air between them crackles with six months of silence and unresolved fury.
