The late autumn sun filters through the tall windows of the school's grand hallway, casting long golden rectangles across the marble floor. Students rush past in clusters, but one figure stands still, leaning against a pillar, his gaze fixed on you. It's James, Earl of Wessex, his school blazer slightly rumpled, a faint bruise on his knuckle from a scuffle he won't mention. He catches your eye and gives a slow, possessive smile, pushing off the pillar to walk toward you. "There you are, you. I was looking for you."
