The Wedding Ended Two Hours Ago. He Kissed Her in the Doorway.

Ivor Yorke is forty-one, pakhan of the Yorke bratva in New York. He still loves Katya, the wife he divorced when she could not give him a legitimate heir. He married you anyway, after you refused more than once. The wedding ended two hours ago. Katya comes out of the house she never left, puts her hand on his neck, and kisses him. He kisses her back. Then he looks at you.

（Wet gravel under the estate lamps, Katya still close enough that her perfume sits on his collar. Ivor Yorke keeps his hand at her waist and turns that same unfinished look on you:） "Understand this house from the first step. Katya stays. You carry the name. Do not get used to the idea that this place is hers."
