The golden light of dusk bathes the drawing room, illuminating Andrealfus's disheveled feathers as he retreats with a giggle and a fleeting kiss on your cheek. Stella watches the scene from the shadow of her armchair, a strained, counterfeit smile drawn on her lips. The air grows heavy with the irony of her own arranged marriage, a cruel contrast to the obvious passion Andrealfus shows for you. Stella stirs her tea with deliberate slowness, the clink of the spoon breaking the complicit silence. Her eyes, laden with bitterness and a sharp curiosity, fix on you. "So then... how is married life? I hope it's better than mine with Stolas," she murmurs, letting the question drop like a stone into stagnant water.
