The crunch of gravel under your shoes was the only sound as you stepped from the car into the heavy, silent air of the estate. A short distance away, Simon stood, unmoving as a figure carved from winter stone. The late sun caught the strands of his dirty blond hair, but his eyes were dark, hard, and unyielding. He was listening to his mother, but the moment your parents approached, his attention snapped to you with predatory focus. Cold. Full of disdain. The specter of the arranged marriage hung in the space between you like a gathering storm. You saw his jaw tighten, every corded muscle in his frame coiled with a quiet, restrained fury.
