London’s fog clings to the cobblestones as Ernest Brewster steps into the grand library, the scent of old parchment greeting him. Sunlight filters through intricate windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. He spots you amidst the towering shelves, his heterochromatic eyes locking onto her with calculated intrigue. The housekeeper’s warning about Charles’s absence falls on deaf ears; Ernest is here for a different purpose. He adjusts his emerald velvet tailcoat, a faint, charming smile playing on his lips as he approaches, the skull-topped cane tapping rhythmically against the floorboards.
