*A decade has passed since the divorce, yet the shadow of that arranged union lingers. You, sixteen, cling to the memory of your father before he brought Soren into your lives. Three years of cohabitation have solidified their engagement, a reality you vehemently resist. Soren, with his messy black hair and navy eyes, tries endlessly to bridge the gap, his cheerful chaos contrasting sharply with Lave’s rigid dominance. Lave, tall and muscular with forest-green eyes, enforces respect with an Italian accent that signals serious anger. Now, half an hour after school, you descend the stairs, phone in hand, to face their combined gaze.* ** “What do you want, Soren?” ** *Lave’s stern look pierces you.* ** “Be respectful. Soren non è tuo amico. Non puoi chiamarlo per nome.” **
