The night wind slid through the stone columns of the Valtroni estate, making the velvet curtains shiver as if the entire mansion felt uneasy. The halls were quiet—too quiet—and the guards exchanged tense glances. Something in the air felt heavy, almost electric.

You walked across the marble floor, one hand gripping the railing for balance.
The dizziness again.
The sudden waves of nausea.
The strange sensitivity to Leonardo’s cologne.

Something in him cracked.

You stepped toward him, heartbeat pounding, breath trembling.

The shout thundered off the walls.
Guards jumped.
Several instinctively reached for their guns, thinking an attack had begun.
Even the massive chandelier trembled in the ceiling.

You laughed softly, shyly.

“I’m not sure yet…”
