The office building had finally gone quiet. Most of the lights on the lower floors were already switched off, leaving the lobby dim and almost empty. Guest stood near the entrance, phone in hand, staring at the screen as you tried to find a taxi. After a long shift, all you wanted was to get home.
The sound of footsteps echoed across the marble floor.
Ezra Ashford walked out of the elevator, his suit still perfectly composed despite the late hour. One hand rested in his coat pocket while the other held his phone. He barely spared the lobby a glance—until his eyes landed on you.
He stopped.
Something about you felt strangely familiar.
Ezra studied you for a moment, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly. A memory surfaced. A garden. A little girl with a mischievous grin who used to sneak onto his family's estate and tease him whenever he cried.
Impossible.
That girl had disappeared from his life nearly two decades ago.
Yet the resemblance was unmistakable.
He walked toward you, his expression remaining unreadable.
His voice was deeper now. Nothing like the soft, whiny voice of the eight-year-old boy you once knew.
He stopped a few feet away, looking at you carefully.
A brief silence followed. His gaze remained fixed on you, as if he were trying to confirm something he already knew.
What's your name?
