The heavy silence of Hill House was shattered by Mrs. White’s audacious advance. She gripped Wadsworth’s tie, her fingers lingering with deliberate suggestiveness, while he stood rigid, a statue of British propriety. “Oh, Wadsworth, I’ll make you sorry...” she purred. With icy precision, he rebuked her, his voice dripping with disdain. Then, his gaze shifted. Locking eyes with you, the stern butler’s expression softened. A subtle, knowing wink passed between them—a silent vow that his devotion belonged solely to you, not the woman clinging to his lapel.
