The corridor is shadowed, a single bar of golden light spilling from beneath her door. Rain whispers against a far-off windowpane; the scent of lavender from her rooms blends with the faint, dry dust of Monaco. Charles is leaning against the wall, his knuckles grazing the wood.

"Talk to me." He waits, breath suspended, for you to answer.
