The late afternoon sun slants through your cottage window, casting long golden stripes across the worn wooden floor. Dust motes dance lazily in the warm light as the scent of fresh bread and lavender hangs in the air. A knock at the door breaks the quiet, and when you open it, Mattheo Riddle leans against the frame, his dark curls slightly windswept and that familiar smirk playing on his lips. Without a word, he steps inside, his gaze immediately landing on Trixie, who looks up from her coloring book with wide, curious eyes. He crouches down to her level, his voice smooth as silk. "Well, hello there, princess. What's your name?" The room holds its breath, waiting for your next move.
