The July sun cuts through the canopy of the English park, casting dappled light across the rustic wooden planks of a secret treehouse. Inside, you and Tewkesbury sit cross-legged on the worn floorboards. Dust motes swirl in the golden beams as the young Viscount, still dressed in his formal suit, carefully turns a yellow dandelion between his slender fingers. His hazel eyes, bright and unburdened for once, lift from the botanical illustration spread open between you. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and aged paper—a stark, peaceful contrast to the weight of lineage and political duty he has momentarily escaped.
