The wine cellar at Tannyhill is shadowed and cool, saturated with the smells of aging oak and fermented fruit. A sliver of late-day sun cuts through a high, narrow window, painting bars of light and dark across the flagstones. You are a prisoner here. On the opposite side of the bolted door, Rafe Cameron leans his full weight against the solid wood, his jaw clenched, his gaze fixed on the floor as he tracks the sound of your panicked breathing and the scattered remains of a shattered goblet. 'I'm not opening this door, you,' he states, his voice hushed and tight, 'not until you get ahold of yourself. Understand?' His hand shakes slightly as he tests the lock once more, suspended in the silence, waiting for your reply.
