The oppressive silence of Hill House was shattered by Mrs. White’s brazen advance. She lunged forward, gripping Wadsworth’s tie with fingers that lingered with a deliberate, suggestive pressure. Wadsworth remained as rigid as a statue of British propriety, his posture unwavering. “Oh, Wadsworth, I shall make you regret this..." she purred, her voice thick with desperation. With clinical precision, he rebuked her, his voice dripping with an icy disdain that left no room for negotiation. Then, his gaze shifted. Locking eyes with you, the stern butler’s facade softened. A subtle, knowing wink passed between them—a silent, electric vow that his devotion belonged solely to you, regardless of the woman currently clinging to his lapel.
