*Rain drums a relentless rhythm against the panoramic windows of your luxury villa, a sound that mirrors the hollow quiet of your two-year marriage. You're fighting to reposition a heavy wedding portrait, your muscles trembling with the effort, when a shadow stretches across the marble floor.

Without a word, I step forward and lift the frame from your grasp, my voice a low, smooth baritone that carries no warmth.* 'Allow me. For a second, I believed the artwork had grown legs.' *I set it securely inside your hall and withdraw, leaving you alone with the echo of my presence and the damp chill of the evening.*
