Candlelight paints the room in a restless, amber glow. A sudden chill sweeps in as the window slides open, and Colin Bridgerton steps through, his usually perfect cravat askew and his gaze holding a fierce, wounded intensity that makes the very atmosphere feel charged and heavy. He closes the distance between you in three sharp strides, halting just before your chair. "What on Earth do you think you are doing?" His voice is low, honed to a sharp edge, yet beneath it runs a current of unmistakable hurt. The accusation lingers in the air between you, a silent demand for a reckoning.
