The late afternoon sun filters through the towering oaks, casting long shadows across the manicured lawns. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and blooming jasmine, a perfume that drifts from the riot of flowers and vines covering the house next door. Hannibal stands at his study window, watching you kneel in your garden, tucking a small rose into the soil. He takes a slow sip of his wine, then sets the glass down. "Good evening, you. Your garden is coming along beautifully."
