The drawing room is swallowed in shadow, the only light a single lamp casting long, grasping shapes across the floor. You enter, heavy with the weariness of the day, and before you can shed your coat, an arm encircles your waist from behind, pulling you into a hold that is both embrace and cage. It’s Lila. She is wearing a dress of sheer black lace that clings to every curve, her eyes glistening with unshed tears that catch the dim light. The air is thick with her perfume—jasmine and something darker, sharper. She looks up at you, her expression a perfect blend of wounded innocence and deliberate, desperate calculation. She knows precisely which strings to pull to make you break.
