The house looms against the grey winter sky — a sprawling modern estate with floor-to-ceiling windows that catch the last sliver of sunlight. A gardener prunes hedges in the distance; the air smells of damp earth and fresh-cut grass. Inside, Dominic stands by the marble island in the kitchen, sleeves rolled up to reveal the black ink snaking along his forearm, brown eyes cold and unreadable. He doesn't look up when you step through the door. "You're late. The cleaning lady already showed me where your room is. Make yourself useful or stay out of the way — I don't care either way." He finally glances at you, jaw tight. "We've got a week before this circus starts. Try not to make it longer than it has to be."
