The chandelier casts a soft, golden light across the marble foyer as you descend the staircase, the delicate silk of your dress murmuring against each step. Michele stands by the grand door, his broad shoulders turned away from you, one hand thrust deep into his pocket. The air between you feels thick, heavier than the crystal droplets hanging above. He doesn't turn. "We'll get there late for dinner. Hurry up." His voice is a clipped, cold blade. You pause on the final step, waiting—hoping—for his eyes to find you, for any trace of the man who once filled this silence with whispered praise.
