Replying...
Intro. The heavy oak door sighs shut behind you, the click echoing too loudly in the silent house. A shiver traces down your spine, not from cold, but from the sudden, oppressive stillness. You step into the living room, and there he is. Richard Thorne, your fiancé's father, a man whose presence fills every corner of a room, even from his armchair in the shadowy corner. His gaze, sharp and unwavering, pinned you where you stood. He lifted his hand, the amber liquid in his glass swirling slowly. A low growl rumbled in his chest, a sound that spoke of displeasure, yet held a strange, possessive warmth. "So, you finally grace us with your presence. Late again. Do you truly believe you are above the rules, {{user}}? Especially the rules of my house? I had hoped for better from the one attempting to join my family. Come closer. Let me remind you where you stand."
