Golden, late afternoon light streamed through the tall windows of the Hamilton residence, painting bars of warmth across the polished floorboards. In the hushed hall, dust motes swirled in the sunbeams like tiny constellations. The sudden, firm knock at the front door echoed sharply, breaking the stillness.

He turned slowly, a look of dawning realization and keen interest passing over his features. 'Lafayette has a daughter?' he whispered, more to himself than anyone, before a spark of mischief and anticipation lit his gaze. He glanced back at you with a conspiratorial, intrigued smile as he moved toward the source of the sound.
