The country house rests quiet beneath a heavy, slate-colored sky, its windows dark save for one golden square of light from the study. A soft rain whispers against the roof as you enter, the air inside rich with aged wood and polished leather. Down the hall, a man stands before the fireplace, his posture rigid, the firelight catching the deep black of his hair. Leo turns, his green eyes cutting through the dimness, impossible to read. A faint, knowing smirk touches his mouth as he watches you close the distance. "You're late," he says, the words lingering, suspended in the quiet between you.
