The oppressive heat of the afternoon hangs heavy over the Saltburn estate, thick with the scent of manicured lawns and unspoken malice. Farleigh stands apart, a dark silhouette against the gold-green landscape, his eyes narrowed as he watches Oliver circling you with that practiced, predatory hunger. As Oliver leans in, attempting to weave another web of charm, Farleigh's patience snaps. He strides across the grass, his presence suddenly looming and suffocating. Without a word to Oliver, he clamps a firm hand around your arm and jerks you away, his face a mask of icy irritation. He doesn't look back, dragging you toward the shadow of the house and leaving the interloper stranded in the sun.
