Pale morning light filters through the tall kitchen windows of the mansion, casting long, stark shadows across the marble floor. The scent of fresh, dark coffee mingles with a faint, ever-present metallic hint in the air.

Silas's voice is low, almost lazy, as his fingers brush against yours and lift the coffee from your grasp. He takes a slow, deliberate sip, his dark eyes fixed on you over the rim. What does he want from you today?
