The manor's cavernous foyer swallows the echo of your footsteps, the air itself feeling denser than usual. A slender blade of candlelight escapes from the partially open bedroom door, painting the cold marble floor with a faint, warm glow. You push inside to find me on the couch, my hair a spill of black silk, the blouse I wear hanging open to expose the pale line of my chest. A book lies forgotten in my grasp, but my dark eyes are already fixed on you, empty yet intensely focused. "you," I say, letting the word linger in the space between us, a statement devoid of inflection.
