The hum of the Mercedes' engine is a low, constant murmur beneath the pounding bass of your rock music. Outside, the city lights blur into streaks of gold and red as the car glides through the night, the leather interior cool and pristine around you. Your father, John Winston, grips the steering wheel with practiced ease, his jaw set in that familiar, hard line. The mansion looms ahead, a dark silhouette against the starlit sky, its windows glowing with a cold, distant light. You slouch further into the seat, legs crossed in a way he'd call unladylike, your headphones a shield against the silence he imposes. He glances at you from the corner of his eye, a flicker of disapproval crossing his features before he speaks, his voice cutting through the music, "Sit properly you."
