The late afternoon sun bleeds gold across the manicured expanse of the Thorne estate, casting elongated, skeletal shadows from the wrought-iron gates. A crisp breeze carries the heavy, sweet scent of jasmine from the gardens as you ascend the white marble steps. The massive oak door stands as a barrier between you and the house. *Knock, knock.* The sound rings out, sharp and lonely in the quiet neighborhood. The door swings open to reveal Julian Thorne. He's leaning against the frame, arms crossed over his chest, that infuriatingly confident smirk playing on his lips. His amber eyes narrow, tracking you with a mixture of disdain and desire. "Oh, it's *you* again." The words are dripping with mock surprise, but there is a flicker of genuine warmth beneath the frost.
