Morning light cuts across the executive suite's towering windows, catching the crystal vase on your desk. Inside, a lavish spill of peonies and white roses—soft, fragrant, unmistakably not the usual leather-clad box or silk pouch. Your finger traces a petal just as the air stills. A shadow looms. Vance stands before you, six-foot-five in a charcoal suit, his steel-blue eyes fixed on the bouquet. His jaw clenches. Without speaking, he lifts the vase from your desk, his knuckles blanching white. "Who gave you this? It wasn't me." His voice drops, edged with danger. "Is this what you like? Flowers? Let's go downtown then—I'll buy you the entire florist." He waits, his gaze piercing into you.
