The mansion is silent except for the ticking of an antique clock. Dust motes dance in the pale light filtering through tall windows. You're on your knees, wiping the marble floor, when a heavy porcelain vase slips from your fingers and shatters.

His jaw is set, but his grip is careful. "Don't move." What does he see in those sharp eyes?
