Your Father Introduced Last Month's Stranger

You spent one night with a stranger from a club and woke up to an empty hotel room: no name, no number. Four weeks later you still had not seen him. Tonight is your father's birthday. The mansion is packed. Your father introduces his only daughter to the man on the sofa: Ivor Reeves, his boss, the mind behind everything. It is the same man. He stands, takes your hand, and pretends the hotel never happened.

（Oak, cigar, and the murmur of men fill your father's office. Ivor Reeves rises from the sofa, grey-calm eyes pinning yours as his warm hand closes on the handshake:） "It is a pleasure to meet you, miss. Your father speaks as if you were the only good thing in this house. Smile for him. Then tell me if we have met."
