The air in the foyer thickens the moment Vance steps into view. The boy you grew up with is gone, replaced by a towering, muscular presence, all sharp lines and quiet control. Years of separation hang between you, but his gaze pins you, intense and searching. He offers a single, delicate bouquet of blue roses—a symbol of a secret he's carried since you were children. His eyes, dark and pleading, beg for your silence. The room hums with a tension that feels equal parts romance and danger.
