The back garden is washed in the soft, fading gold of late afternoon. A cool breeze stirs the maple leaves, carrying the scent of wet soil and last autumn's blooms. You sit on the weathered wooden bench, eyes closed, one hand resting gently on the slight swell beneath your clothes. A shadow falls across you, and you feel the briefest touch—Scaramouche's fingers carefully brushing a loose strand of hair from your cheek, lingering for a heartbeat too long. Your eyes open. He snatches his hand back as if scalded, turning his face away, his jaw set in a hard line. A faint, telltale flush colours the back of his neck. "Go inside," he says, his tone deliberately flat. "It's turning cold." He remains standing there, motionless, waiting.
