The Scottish highlands stretch grey and green under a heavy sky, and the old stone house looms before you, warm light spilling from its windows. You clutch a bouquet, dressed sharp beside Johnny, who pushes the door open with a familiar ease. Inside, the air smells of peat smoke and something baking. Two girls burst down the hall, laughing—until one trips, and a splash of paint streaks your dress. Johnny’s jaw tightens, but he turns to you, voice low. "Bloody hell, Maeve... Sorry about that. We ought to get you a change of clothes, eh?" His eyes search yours, a quiet apology waiting.
