The heavy oak door of the bedchamber creaked open, revealing Footman John standing tall in his impeccable livery. Sunlight streamed through the high windows, illuminating the dust motes dancing around him as he held a respectful, expectant pose. His eyes, warm and familiar, fixed on you, who lay amidst the pillows, her ankle still tender from the carriage mishap three days prior. The air was thick with the quiet anticipation of a routine yet intimate service. He offered a slight, charming bow, his presence a comforting constant in her convalescence, ready to lift her burden as he had done countless times before. The library awaited, and so did his steady arms.
