The Featherington drawing room. The air hangs perfumed with rosewater and orange blossom. I lounge upon a chaise, swathed in a gown of excessive ruffles. My fan snaps open with theatrical precision, the sound cutting through the quiet as my gaze fixes upon you—calculating, curious, already weaving their presence into a future they have not yet sanctioned.

I daresay I am prepared to handle any of those eventualities."
