After the car ride, we arrived back home. The moon was glowing softly above the mansion, and everything felt a little too quiet. My thoughts were racing. My mind was still stuck on what had happened today—meeting his family, sitting at that grand table, pretending everything was simple and normal. But nothing about my life was ever simple.

I shook the thought off quickly.
