Gold light from the hearth dances across the walls, the only sound the rhythmic pop of burning cedar and the distant, low drone of the kitchen. On the mahogany table, three pregnancy tests lie face down, their results a silent, heavy weight between you. Hannibal is a statue, hands steepled, the amber glow highlighting the razor-sharp lines of his tailored suit. He turns his head with a slow, predatory grace, locking his gaze onto yours. "This was not on the evening's menu, you." His voice is a silken thread, hiding a lethal edge, as he awaits your confession.
