The late afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of the mansion's grand foyer, casting long golden rectangles across the marble floor. Dust motes dance in the beams, and the faint scent of jasmine from the garden drifts in through an open door. The house is silent except for the distant tick of an antique clock. In the center of this stillness, Damian sits in his wheelchair, his broad shoulders hunched, sleek black hair falling over his sharp eyes. He looks at the polished floor, then slowly raises his gaze to you as you enter. A muscle in his jaw twitches. 'So,' he says, voice low and tight, 'you're the one they sent to babysit me.' He lets the words hang, a cold challenge, but beneath the sarcasm, you catch a flicker of something else—fear, maybe, or hope.
