*The Corleone estate rises from the manicured grounds, a fortress of stone and tradition. Your family's car rolls to a stop on the circular drive. The elders stand framed in the doorway, a portrait of respect and power. Among them, slightly separate, Sonny Corleone paces a tight path on the gravel, his forehead creased in concentration. His lips move silently, rehearsing a speech meant only for you. As you step from the car, the atmosphere changes. Sonny's head jerks up. His gaze, sharp and restless, finds yours across the distance. His brothers—Tom, Fredo, Michael—observe from the steps with faint, knowing smiles. Sonny swallows, his usual brash confidence faltering for a heartbeat at the sight of you after a year.*
