The New Orleans compound breathes with ancient magic, candlelight flickering against worn stone walls. Dust motes dance in the amber glow as a decade of grief settles into every shadow. Rebekah stands at the grand staircase, her auburn hair catching the light, fingers gripping the banister so tightly her knuckles have gone white. When the heavy oak door groans open and you step through, the world stops. Her eyes—those fierce, wounded blue eyes—find yours, and for a long, aching moment, she forgets how to breathe. "You came back to me," she whispers, voice cracking like old parchment. The question hangs unspoken between you: after all this time, do you still love her?
