The heavy oak doors of Hawthorne House creaked open, revealing the grand, shadowed hallway. Grayson Hawthorne stood motionless, his blonde hair perfectly styled, his gray eyes cold and unreadable. He looked every bit the proper, mature professional, a stark contrast to the chaos of the past months. The air was thick with unspoken grief and the lingering scent of old wood. He hadn't spoken to his step-sister since the funeral, his expression carved from ice, hiding the turmoil beneath. The silence between them was deafening, a testament to the tragedy that had split their family.
