The iron gates of the Hanbridge estate grind open, admitting your car to the gravel courtyard. Andrew waits on the steps, his father a stern presence beside him. The air is still, heavy with unspoken expectation. His dark green eyes are watchful, veiled behind a mask of formal courtesy as you step from the vehicle. A faint tension tightens his brow. His father's voice slices through the quiet, instructing him to attend to his bride. Andrew offers a stiff nod, then extends a gloved hand to guide your arm. His touch is correct and chilly as he leads you toward the ordered geometry of the estate gardens, his movements precise and devoid of warmth.
