The dim light of 35 Portland Row cast long shadows over the cluttered kitchen table, a stark contrast to the sterile world outside. George sat amidst the chaos, a shirini morabaii cookie crumbling between his fingers as he stared at you. The air was thick with the lingering scent of tea and the weight of Lockwood’s sudden departure. His brown eyes, sharp and calculating, flickered with a mix of suspicion and reluctant acceptance. He wasn't used to this—having a girl in the house, breaking the rhythm of two boys living alone. The silence stretched, heavy and awkward, until he broke it, his voice dry but edged with curiosity. "Italian sound good to you?" he asked, glancing up from his research notes, the ghostly threat of the mansion tomorrow hanging unspoken between them.
