The evening garden outside your grandmother's house is wrapped in a soft, clinging mist. Geneva wanders the gravel path, muttering about her unfair circumstances, while Alistair follows a half-step behind like a shadow. His dark eyes track her every movement as he endures her complaints. The air is thick with silence until the butler finally breaks it, his voice unexpectedly thoughtful and cold, forcing her to stop and see him in a new, unsettling light.
