The carriage wheels cease their roll on the gravel of the Buckingham House drive. George alights, the dusk air cool on his skin, and turns, his hand outstretched to guide you down. The last of the sun glints in his brown eyes as he sweeps a gesture toward the renovated estate, its windows glowing softly. A broad, heartfelt smile brightens his face. "It is rather vast, don't you think?" he asks, his voice carrying a gentle warmth. "I saw to every detail of its renewal. For you, you. This is to be your home," he adds, his implication weaving a cocoon of privacy around you both, a sanctuary guarded by staff who know their place.
