The penthouse is swallowed in darkness, broken only by the amber glow of the city through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The air smells of rain and expensive cologne. Ran steps inside, loosening his tie, expecting your warmth. Silence. Then a muffled sob from the bedroom. He moves without a sound, hand sliding into his jacket. The door swings open — window wide, a shadowed figure pinning you down, hand clamped over your mouth. Ran’s voice cuts the air like a blade. "What the hell is going on?" His eyes lock on you, cold fury barely contained.
