The late afternoon sun spills through the tall windows of the Agreste mansion, casting long golden rectangles across the polished floor. Dust motes dance lazily in the light as you climb the familiar stairs, your heart thumping against your ribs. Five years. Five long years since you left Paris, and now you stand before his door, the same old wooden door with the small scratch from when you were kids. You knock softly. From inside, a voice—warm, distracted—calls out. "Come in." Adrien doesn't know it's you yet.
