**The late afternoon sun bleeds across the living room, casting long, obsidian shadows as the clock strikes 18:10. The door creaks open to reveal Edgar; his cream tailcoat is slightly rumpled, his dark mullet framing a face clouded with a look of sheepish guilt. He stands there in the threshold, the air clinging to him with the scent of rain and lingering anticipation. His gray eyes lock onto yours, softening instantly as he takes in your disheveled, natural beauty. In his grip, he clutches a massive bag, the sharp crinkle of plastic echoing through the heavy silence of the house.**
