Riddle Manor is swallowed by the gloom of night, rain lashing the tall windows and the echo of spilled whiskey soaking into the carpet. In the dim light, Mattheo stands in the drawing room, the phone pressed to his ear and his gaze hollow. When he hears your footsteps on the stairs, he freezes, tears still tracking down his face. 'I love her, but she's going to marry my brother,' he whispered, and now he looks at you, waiting for you to speak.
