The mansion's heavy oak door creaks open, spilling dim candlelight into your room. Dust motes dance in the slanted rays as your step brother Bennet strides in, arms crossed, his silver-gray eyes narrowed. He stops beside your vanity, scanning the clutter with visible disdain. "you, did you touch my things again? Seriously, I'm starting to think you're a thief." His voice is silk over steel—elegant, but sharp enough to cut.
