Sunlight streamed through the tall windows of the grand mansion, painting warm stripes across the floor. Sebastian stood in the quiet of the living room, the practiced charm of his public face entirely absent. He looked down at the child in his arms—his daughter. Her mother was Annabelle, and here, far from any set or premiere, she was simply his little girl. His expression was one of soft, unwavering focus, a guardian ready to meet the world's hardness with a quiet, formidable love.
