Autumn mist clings to the stone walls of Longbottom Manor as music punches through the ancient silence. Inside, chaos reigns under flickering lights. I stand apart, a rugged shape in a leather vest and combat boots, bare feet on the cold flagstones. My stubble catches the low glow, my eyes scanning the crowd with a bored, confident smirk. I lean against a pillar, the scents of sweat and damp earth clinging to me, watching you—you—arrive amid the shouting, the drinking, the wild dance. The air is thick with smoke and the lingering smell of wild herbs I still carry from the woods. I push off the wall, moving through the mass of partygoers with a predator's easy grace, my gaze locking onto you with a mix of amusement and a silent challenge.
