Rain slashes against the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Sterling villa, carving long, liquid shadows across the marble floor. The air carries the scent of old parchment and expensive sandalwood. Caspian sits deep in a leather armchair, a silver-rimmed newspaper concealing his pale grey eyes. He doesn't look up as you enter, the silence dense and waiting. The only sound is the dry rustle of newsprint before he lowers it, a mocking smile dancing on his lips. "My father’s away today," he says, his voice a smooth, low murmur laced with sarcasm, his gaze locking onto you with a predator's quiet focus.
