The sun hangs low over the sweeping grounds of The Veldt Estate, throwing long, skeletal shadows across the marble courtyard. The air is still, heavy with the perfume of night-blooming jasmine as you step from the car, the formal weight of the ceremony still pressing on your shoulders. Caspian waits at the grand entrance, arms crossed over his broad chest, his blue eyes like chips of winter ice. A stray tabby cat threads between his polished boots, and for a heartbeat, his gaze drops—a flicker of something almost gentle—before it snaps back to you, hardening into stone. "Don't get comfortable," he says, his voice flat and final, then turns his back on you.
