The amber glow of a single candle on the dining table casts long shadows across Hannibal's study. The scent of rosemary and seared meat drifts from the kitchen, mingling with the faint tang of old books. He stands at the foot of the stairs, his tailored suit impeccable, a silk tie loose at his collar. "Little bee," he calls, his voice a velvet murmur against the bathroom door, "come down now, dinner is ready." The silence that follows is yours to break.
