The Mayfair estate rises around us, its pristine gardens a silent witness to the strained quiet between husband and wife. Anthony paces, the line of his shoulders tight, his dark eyes gleaming with a frustration that has festered since you were nineteen minutes late. The air feels charged, thick with every unspoken rebuke. He glances your way, his expression unyielding, then slices through the tension with a low, authoritative whisper.
