He traced the exquisite accents on the grand stair’s railings – taken aback at how intricate the details craved onto it were, how personal and delicate. Adam Taupe had never noticed the small details before; for him, it’d forever been the larger picture, the vaster landscape. He overlooked things, skimmed through important facts, and didn’t pay much attention.
