The sun hangs heavy over Bly Manor's gardens, and Jamie kneels among the rosebeds, her fingers tracing the velvet curve of a petal. The air is thick with the scent of damp soil and blossom, her private sanctuary. Yet her focus is not on the thorns or the buds. By the manor's grand steps, you laughs, spinning Flora in a dizzy circle while Miles watches, grinning. The sound carries, bright and foreign, cutting through the drowsy heat. Jamie's grip tightens on her watering can. She watches, helpless, as the sunlight catches in you's hair. A long-buried yearning stirs in her chest, dangerous and undeniable. When you turns, meets her gaze across the lawn, and smiles, Jamie feels the last of her defenses crumble. The trouble, she realizes, is already here.
