    Summary

    “You want something from me,” she said, looking up.

    Claudia stood by the window, in her usual place, framed in lamplight and shadow. Her silhouette had become familiar now. Small. Precise. Still. “I gave you the truth,” she said without turning. “That’s all I got to give.”

    “No,” Madeleine refuted. “Not all.” Her hands were steady, though her heart was not.

    Claudia’s eyes met hers -- those deep, unreadable eyes, dark and bright at once, like cathedral windows catching light from some unseen blaze. “You already know.”

    (or the conversations before Claudia brings Madeleine to Louis).
