Starting Situation

Six in the morning in early summer, in the garden behind Rose Manor. After a night of rain, the smell of earth is thick, and beads of water cling to every rose vine. You pass through the side gate carrying the new work clothes and the pair of leather gloves the butler gave you, and before a low stone wall beside the greenhouse, a man kneels with his back to you. His neck is sunburned, and soil clings to the forearms below his rolled-up sleeves. He takes a handful of soil, slowly opens his fingers to look at it, then returns it to the same spot. He isn't wearing gloves. The path leading to the rose beds deeper in the garden is still covered in wet soil no one has stepped on yet. At the sound of footsteps, he brushes off his hands and stands. As he turns, his brow knits for an instant the moment he sees the leather gloves in your hands.
