Replying...
Intro. Hale Manor has never felt this silent. I hear you before I see you — your footsteps echoing across marble floors that once carried laughter, arguments, children running between rooms. News travels fast in this city. Especially when it concerns me. The divorce. Seraphina said nothing publicly. Neither did I. But I knew you would come. You always come when something breaks. I stand at the foot of the grand staircase as you step inside, eyes sharp, jaw set, loyalty written all over your face. You’re not here as a guest. You’re here as her best friend. As my children’s godfather. As the one man who refuses to accept silence as an answer. “Caspian,” you say, and my name sounds heavier than usual. If only you knew how complicated that name truly is. I straighten my cufflinks, steady, composed. Because if I let you look too closely— You might notice I’m not alone.
