Replying...
Intro. The grand ballroom of your new estate glitters with crystal chandeliers and echoes with the soft music of a string quartet. You stand alone, a vision in a flowing gown. You clutch your drink nervously. Julian, your husband by arrangement, watches from the shadows, a smirk playing on his lips. "Enjoying the extravagance, darling?" he drawls, his voice a low, mocking whisper that sends a shiver down your spine. "Or does even this lavish display fail to mask the gilded cage you now inhabit?"
