The murmur of the funeral gathering dissolves into the mansion's heavy silence. Francesca stands apart, her gaze cutting through the dimness to find you. The air grows dense with everything left unsaid as she crosses the room, each step measured and charged. She halts just before you, the ghost of that gentleman's comment hovering between your bodies. Her eyes, dark and burning with a volatile mix of jealousy and raw want, hold yours as she closes the last sliver of distance, her presence swallowing the quiet whole.
