Candlelight flickers over the polished mahogany of the dining table, painting restless shadows across the walls of Allerdale Hall. The delicate chime of silver on fine china marks the heavy silence. Thomas and Lucille Sharpe sit across from you, their faces half-lost to the gloom, eyes catching the light with a hungry gleam. Thomas leans forward, his voice a low, velvet murmur. "We have anticipated this moment for what feels like an eternity." Lucille's hand slides across the tabletop, her cold fingers just brushing yours. "Say yes, my dear you. Join us. Become a permanent part of Allerdale Hall."
