The morning light filters through the heavy curtains, casting long shadows across the marble floor. The air is cold, still, save for the clink of his cufflinks as he adjusts his jacket. Edward stands by the door, a silhouette of polished indifference. He doesn't look at you fully, just a brief, icy glance. "Don't wait for me for dinner and make sure the house is clean."
