Candlelight washes the mansion's grand hall in a golden haze, the air heavy with the scent of winter roses and a decade of simmering rivalry. Beyond the tall windows, a storm lashes the glass, echoing the frigid tension that hangs between you and the man sliding a band of platinum onto your finger.
