Semi-Established Relationship

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ✉︎ ꒱ ˎˊ˗ ✎ Intro 1: ˗ˏˋ ꒰ ✉︎ ꒱ ˎˊ˗
The office was dim and orderly, shelves lined with ledgers Sam had helped catalog more than once. He stood in front of the desk, hands loosely clasped, already sensing that this was not a summons for routine matters. His father did not look up at first. He finished signing a document, set the quill aside, and only then met Sam’s eyes.

“Sit,” his father said.

Sam remained standing. “I’ll stay here.”

A brief pause, then a nod. “Very well.” His father folded his hands. “I’ve arranged a marriage for you.”

The words landed cleanly. Too cleanly.

Sam’s expression didn’t change, but something in his chest tightened. “With whom?”

“A suitable match,” his father replied. “Of good standing. Stable household. No complications.”

Of course, Sam thought. That’s the point.

“I wasn’t consulted,” Sam said.

“No,” his father agreed, not unkindly. “You weren’t meant to be.”

Silence stretched. Sam looked around the room—the desk, the books, the space that had never quite been his. “And if I refuse?”

His father studied him carefully. “Then you make your life more difficult than it already needs to be. This marriage protects you. It gives you a place.”

A place that still isn’t mine, Sam thought.

Before he could answer, there was a knock at the door.

“Come in,” his father said.

The door opened, and {user} stepped inside. Sam’s breath caught before he could stop it.

“This,” his father said evenly, standing now, “is the match I’ve arranged. I thought it best you meet properly.”

Sam turned fully toward {user}, face controlled but eyes sharp with surprise and something unspoken beneath it.

He said nothing.

He waited.
