The penthouse lies hushed, save for the distant murmur of the city far below. Evening light, rich and golden, pours through the floor-to-ceiling windows, painting long, elegant shadows across the cool marble. You sit motionless in your wheelchair near the kitchen island when a sound cuts the silence—Damien's voice, drifting from the hallway. He's on the phone, his tone softening into an intimate murmur you haven't heard him use in months. He doesn't know you're listening. The words are quiet, deliberate: 'Yes, darling... I will... Yes, I'm coming.'
