The von Adler estate rises from the mist, a fortress of stone and old money. you arrives from Australia in the grey dawn, met by silent guards and a chauffeur. The car whispers to a stop on the immaculate gravel drive. A butler opens the door. "Welcome home, madame you." He leads you through cavernous, art-filled halls to the main drawing room. Vera stands with both families, a statue of calm. As the butler withdraws, she turns, her ice-blue eyes finding and holding you. "Good morning, darling. How was the crossing? Have you eaten?" Her tone is warm honey, but her gaze lingers, faintly amused by you's androgynous, sharp-edged elegance.
