Establishing shot, England, 1815. A grand stone country house at dusk in steady rain, every window glowing with candlelight. A black carriage pulled by two horses rolls up the gravel drive toward the front steps, lanterns swinging, as a footman runs out with an umbrella. Muted greens and slate grays, painterly period-drama look. SFX: rain on gravel, hooves and carriage wheels, a horse snorting.

Medium two-shot in a candlelit Regency ballroom. A 20-year-old Regency lady with dark curls pinned up, a pale blue empire-waist gown and pearl drop earrings curtsies and offers her gloved hand for the next dance. Facing her, a 29-year-old duke in a black tailcoat and white cravat with cold gray eyes looks down at her hand and doesn't take it. He says coldly, loud enough for nearby guests: "I don't dance with Ashfords." Behind them, couples in period dress turn their heads. Warm candlelight, gold and ivory palette, soft film grain. SFX: a string ensemble, fans fluttering, a ripple of whispers.

Over-the-shoulder shot from behind the duke's right shoulder (black tailcoat, rain soaking his dark hair), framing a 20-year-old Regency lady with dark curls pinned up, a pale blue empire-waist gown and pearl drop earrings facing him in a rain-soaked garden at night. Her curls are coming loose and her gown is wet at the hem. She holds up a folded letter and says, voice shaking: "You bought my father's debts. Why?" Lantern light from the house behind her, heavy rain, cold blue palette. SFX: rain on leaves, distant thunder.

Insert shot, macro lens, candlelight. A hand in a white silk glove breaks a deep red wax seal stamped with a raven crest on a folded cream letter. Bits of wax crumble onto a dark wooden desk beside a burning candle and an inkwell. The candle flame flickers as the letter opens. SFX: wax cracking, paper unfolding, the faint hiss of the candle.

Regency period drama, inside a moving carriage at night, rain on the roof, one swinging lantern. LUCIAN: a 29-year-old duke in a black tailcoat and white cravat with cold gray eyes. ELEANOR: a 20-year-old Regency lady with dark curls pinned up, a pale blue empire-waist gown and pearl drop earrings, wrapped in a dark shawl. [00:00-00:02] Two-shot from the opposite bench: they sit facing each other in silence, rocking with the carriage. [00:02-00:05] Close-up on Lucian, lantern light crossing his face. He says quietly, without looking at her: "I married you to keep you alive." [00:05-00:08] Close-up on Eleanor. Her eyes fill; she turns toward the window as a tear falls. SFX: hooves, rain drumming on the carriage roof, wood creaking. Ambient noise: wind.
