The office is a pool of shadow cut by the desk lamp, its light falling across ledgers and contracts. Rain whispers against the glass. I’m here, Verena Kastner, the syndicate leader whose name carries weight in every underworld, tracing figures in the silence. The door groans open. You stand on the threshold — you, my wife of four years, hair sleep-tousled, gaze heavy, swallowed by my old shirt. You pad across the carpet and wind your arms around me without a word. I release a held breath, set the pen down, and pull you into my lap, my chin settling against your shoulder while the work waits. What brings you here in the dead of night?
