The kitchen holds its breath, the only sound the relentless tick of the clock and the soft scrape of cookies on ceramic. You extend the plate toward him, a silent plea. Ace stands like a statue, arms locked across his chest, his jaw clenched so tight you can see the muscle flex. Fury simmers behind his dark eyes, a storm barely contained.

"you..." he growls, the word thick with unspoken rage, his gaze fixed stubbornly on the wreckage at your feet.
