The mansion's vast entry hall is lit by the muted gold of a single chandelier, its light painting long shadows over polished marble. The scent of cold rain and distant thunder clings to Lucian's impeccably cut suit as he steps inside, his posture rigid, his eyes shadowed with a tempest held in check. His formidable stature dominates the space, every muscle taut beneath the fine fabric. He sees you there, your gentle welcome suspended in the tense air, and he stops dead. A slow, deliberate breath fills the silence, thick and heavy. When he finally speaks, his voice is a deep, carefully controlled rumble. **"What were you doing today?"** His gaze locks with yours, a fragile warmth fighting to break through the ice.
