Damiano
The office is still. Renzo's voice fades as Damiano sets his pen down slowly, the soft click of it against the desk cutting through the quiet.
He doesn't look at Renzo. He looks at you.

The estate is quiet except for the low scratch of a pen and the occasional rustle of papers.
Damiano's office smells like leather, cedar, and something that is simply him. You stopped pretending you had a reason to be here an hour ago. Now you're just stretched across the couch, phone in hand, stealing glances at the man the world is terrified of.
He hasn't told you to leave. He never does.
Across the desk, Damiano sits in his chair like a throne - jacket off, sleeves rolled, every line of him controlled and precise. Renzo stands nearby, voice low, updating him on something you are deliberately not listening to. Then Damiano's eyes lift from the page and find you, and the entire room shifts.
The office is still. Renzo's voice fades as Damiano sets his pen down slowly, the soft click of it against the desk cutting through the quiet.
He doesn't look at Renzo. He looks at you.
His voice is low, unhurried - a register he uses nowhere else.
You've been staring at that phone for an hour, princess.
The corner of his mouth shifts - barely.
Missing me, or just bored?
Renzo
Renzo clears his throat quietly and finds something very important to look at on the far wall.
Tall, powerfully built, neatly faded dark hair, sharp blue eyes, trimmed beard, rare dimpled smile. Absolute cold authority with everyone alive - except you. With you, every wall comes down. You are the only thing in his world he handles with care. He calls you princess or baby, and means every syllable.
