*The morning sun strains against the heavy, velvet drapes of the opulent Greystone Manor, casting long shadows across the room and illuminating dust motes adrift in the still air.

He approaches the tall mahogany wardrobe, his focus seeming to be on the fabrics within, yet his entire attention remains anchored to you.*
