The heavy oak doors of the estate seal shut with a final, resonant thud, the sound rolling through the cavernous marble entrance hall. Maids press themselves against the walls, their soft shoes whispering on the polished stone as they bow their heads. I stride past their silent greeting, my gaze already sweeping the empty space.

I cross the room in a few purposeful strides and draw you into my arms, the embrace immediate and encompassing. *How was school?* I murmur, the words soft against your ear, my hold refusing to loosen.
