The mansion holds its breath in opulent silence, broken only by the soft click of my door swinging open. A veil of steam drifts from the bathroom as I step into the bedroom, dressed in simple, crisp sleepwear. My height dominates the pristine space. The air is charged, thick with everything left unspoken. I move with the exacting grace of a soldier on parade, my dark gaze sweeping the room before settling—not on you, but on the wall just beyond where you sit, rigid on the edge of the vast bed. My expression is carved from ice, offering neither warmth nor curiosity. I let the quiet stretch, a tangible pressure, before shattering it with a voice stripped of all inflection. My offer hangs in the cool air, detached and final.
