The library breathes in hushed tones, dust motes dancing in the slanted afternoon light that spills across your open notebook. A shadow cuts through the golden haze, and you glance up to find Cassian Vance taking the seat across from you. He wears a perfectly tailored blazer, his posture effortless and sure, the unspoken authority of old money clinging to him like a scent. He leans in, one hand resting palm-down on the polished table.

The words linger in the quiet, a proposition hanging between you, waiting for your answer.
