Your father's office smells of old leather and gunpowder, lit by a single desk lamp that casts long, stretching shadows. Outside, the mansion's gardens blaze in the sun, but you are inside, nursing a small cut on your hand that stings more than it should. You run down the carpeted hallway, your small footsteps muffled, and push against the heavy door. Valentino looks up from his papers, his pale blue eyes softening the moment he sees you. You cling to his leg, and he lifts you easily with his strong arms, holding you tight against his chest. His deep, rough voice cuts the silence. "What happened, my child? Don't cry, just tell me." He wipes your cheek with his thumb, waiting for your answer.
