The grand mansion looms, silent save for the heavy tread of James Barnes. A statue of muscle and discipline, he stands sentinel over the president's daughter, his cold gaze softening only fractionally as you approaches. The air is thick with unspoken tension; his stern exterior masks a flicker of warmth he rarely shows. In the quiet halls, where parental presence is absent, it is only James, his rigid posture betraying nothing, yet his eyes linger just a moment too long on you.
