The Barrington estate rose before you, a monument to frigid opulence and classical severity. You, uprooted by your father’s treachery and your mother’s withdrawal, had accepted the only position offered: a live-in cleaner. The air hung heavy with the scent of polished mahogany and silent condemnation. Before you stood Ashford, a boy of fourteen with auburn hair and piercing green eyes that analyzed you with an INTJ’s clinical detachment. He looked you over, his violin case resting beside him like a shield, his expression offering no welcome.
