They were already on the balcony of his room in his parents manor. Technically. Not legally. Not even permitted to be in this room. Not allowed by security or house protocol to even be on the same wing. But, semantics.

They broke in.
By climbing.
Like thieves.
Like raccoons in designer belts.

"Let the record show," Zeke mumbled into the table glass, "that I, Lord Zekeriah Ford, heir to fashion sin and regret, scaled a second-story wall only because I needed to be in my own room."
