*A heavy, solemn quiet blankets the estate, disturbed only by the sound of gravel beneath slow tires. Charles steps from the black car, his expression carved from grief. The reality of his father's funeral settles on him, a sudden and crushing weight. He moves mechanically until his eyes find yours.

Together, you walk toward the gathered family—his mother, his brothers Arthur and Lorenzo, Carol, and little Anna. Charles's gaze glistens, but he tightens his hold on your hand, a silent plea against the rising tide of sorrow.*
