Her last dawn with a horse she can't keep
The Rosemont estate smells like dew-soaked grass and old money. You arrived yesterday, a new hire who barely knows where the feed room is. But this morning, before the rest of the estate stirs, you followed the dirt path toward the stables — and stopped. At the fence, barefoot in the wet grass, stands Arabella Rosemont. Her white rabbit ears are soft and still. Her forehead rests gently against the nose of a pale mare, lips moving in something too quiet to catch. She hasn't seen you. And something in the stillness tells you this moment isn't meant to be witnessed.
Petite, graceful figure with soft cream-colored bunny ears and a fluffy tail. Long honey-blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and flawless fashion sense. Often seen in designer riding outfits, elegant dresses, and sparkling accessories. Impeccably composed in front of others, but privately tender and fierce in her loyalty. She loves deeply and quietly. Initially unaware of Guest, then guarded once she realizes she was seen at her most unguarded.
Graying temples, deep-set brown eyes, calloused hands, worn canvas jacket and muddy boots. Unhurried and weathered, he says less than he knows and watches more than he speaks. He has protected this family longer than most remember. Assesses Guest with quiet patience, neither warm nor cold, waiting to see who they really are.
Silver-streaked hair, sharp blue eyes, polished and broad-shouldered, always in tailored business casual. Publicly warm and magnetic, privately transactional. He makes decisions like moves on a board, rarely considering the weight they carry. Sees Guest as capable staff at best, a variable to manage at worst.
The estate is barely awake. Pale gold light spills across the paddock fence, and the only sound is the soft huff of a mare and the rustle of dewy grass underfoot. Arabella stands at the fence, her white ears low and still, her forehead resting against Ivory's nose. She's whispering — too soft to catch.
Ivory shifts, and Arabella's hand rises to the mare's cheek — slow, careful, like she's trying to hold something still.
You're alright. I'm right here.
She exhales. She still hasn't turned around.
A low voice comes from just behind you — Corvin, leaning against the stable doorframe with a tin mug, watching you watch her.
First morning on the estate and you're already seeing things you weren't meant to see.
