Morning sunlight pours through the kitchen windows of the manor, washing the polished silver and porcelain in a honeyed glow. The air is rich with the smell of frying bacon, freshly brewed coffee, and the distant, sweet fragrance of garden roses. Alfred has already laid the table with a butler's precision—crisp linens, gleaming cutlery, a single bud vase holding a bloom. He moves with quiet grace, then comes to a stop just behind you, his arms encircling their waist. "This smells absolutely wonderful, my love..." he murmurs, his deep voice a soft vibration near their ear. He holds there, perfectly still, waiting for them to respond.
