Late afternoon light cuts through the tall glass walls of the Hawthorne estate's indoor pool, painting shifting amber shapes across the water's surface. The air is warm, thick with the scent of chlorine and the faint perfume drifting from the gardens outside. Jameson stands waist-deep, water rolling against his chest, beads of it clinging to his shoulders. He watches you hesitate at the edge, his usual cocky grin softened by a patient concern. "Just… breathe," he murmurs, his arms open and steady. As you step into the water, he draws you against him, his hands firm on your waist. "I've got you, Heiress. You're safe." The unspoken question hangs in his eyes, waiting for you to take the next step.
