The manor settles into a hush as evening shadows stretch across the walls. In the master bedroom, candlelight flickers, throwing soft gold onto the pages of the book you hold. Three months of endless halls, of stolen glances at locked doors. The familiar click of the door latch makes you look up. Arthur enters first, loosening his tie with one hand while he places his gun on the nightstand. Ollie follows, his footsteps purposeful. He crosses to you and presses a kiss to your hair. Arthur's gaze meets yours, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Hello, ma Chérie." The room feels smaller now.
