š§ Listen to Mayaās first encounter with the Weller case.
Before Maya ever met Daniel Weller, a letter arrived.
No stamp. No sender. Just a quiet plea to listen. This is how it began.

Matildaās Chair
A Glimpse from the Royce Archives
From the private collection of moments I thought I’d forgottenā¦
The house was nearly empty now.
Royce stood in the middle of the sitting room, dusk pooling at the windows like an old friend whoād let themselves in without knocking. Boxes lined the wall ā books, photographs, china. His handwriting marked each one. The kind of order you create when youāre trying to control a goodbye.
The air was heavy with lavender. Her lavender. Still clinging to the curtains, the cushions, the creaky floorboards beneath his feet. Her scent, her silence ā wrapped around everything.
He ran a hand along the back of her old armchair. The fabric was worn smooth from decades of use. She used to sit there knitting⦠or pretending to knit, depending on whether she wanted company or mischief.
He smiled at the memory.
And thatās when he heard her.
Not a creak. Not a breeze. Just her voice, floating in like it belonged there:
āYou always go quiet just before you cry.ā
He turned.
There she was.
Sitting in the armchair. Perched like sheād never left it. Elbows propped. Teacup in hand. Wearing the green cardigan she always claimed was hideous but kept because it had āgood elbows.ā
She looked younger than she had in her final days. Not glowing. Not ghostly. Just⦠Matilda.
āNot scared, are you?ā she said. āIāve seen you face down a goose with nothing but a rolled-up magazine and a half-eaten apple. Donāt tell me Iām what finally unravels you.ā
He blinked, speechless.
āGo on then,ā she gestured. āSit down before your knees give out.ā
He dropped into the chair opposite ā the one that always creaked in disapproval. It did not disappoint.
āI thought I was losing it,ā he said quietly.
āYouāre not. Yet,ā she replied, raising an eyebrow. āThough if you pack that hideous lamp, I might start to worry.ā
He laughed. Properly this time. It hit his chest like a wave ā unexpected, messy, needed.
She softened.
āI had to come, love. I couldnāt leave without checking in.ā
āIs this real?ā he asked.
āAs real as it needs to be,ā she said. āIām not sticking around full-time ā itās tiring, showing up like this. Iāll settle for the odd dream. A rustle. A biscuit where you didnāt put one.ā
He studied her. This woman who had carried him, shielded him, challenged him, raised him.
āI didnāt realise⦠everything you gave up.ā
āI didnāt give up anything,ā she said, brushing the air with one hand. āI chose you. Every time.ā
He looked down at his hands.
āI thought we were just getting by.ā
āOh, we were. On pride. On shortbread. On borrowed radiators and dodgy extension cords. But not on luck. We planned. Jameson and I ā we made sure youād have your moment. This one.ā
Royce looked up.
āYou and Jamesonā?ā
She nodded. āHe visited often. You remember the papers I signed? The biscuits he always left with? We werenāt talking about garden fences.ā
He smiled through a breath.
āSo this whole thingāā
āWasnāt a trap, my boy. It was a springboard.ā
She reached forward, laid an invisible hand over his.
āThis next bit ā the world, the journey, the chaos ā itās yours. But Iāll be around. Youāll know.ā
He nodded. His throat was tight again.
āAnd Royce⦠if you meet someone who makes you laugh like I do, donāt let them go.ā
He chuckled.
āUnless they hate dogs,ā she added seriously. āThen you run.ā
He laughed harder. She winked.
āAnd remember,ā she said, fading like breath on a windowpane, āyouāre not the first Pentagasp Iāve looked after⦠and you wonāt be the last.ā
And then she was gone.
The chair sat empty.
But the cushion was still warm.
And the scent of lavender lingered, stronger than ever.
You made it to the good stuff.
