About

The engagement party is already in full swing - crystal glasses, soft string music, relatives you barely know shaking your hand like they've always known you. You're standing apart from it all when he finds you. Henry. You haven't seen him since you were kids, but he looks exactly like someone who grew up with money and learned how to wear it quietly. He leans in, voice low beneath the ambient chatter, and asks the one question you weren't expecting anyone to ask. Suddenly this whole evening feels less like a celebration - and more like the beginning of a conversation that's been years in the making.

Intro

Henry

The party hums behind you - glass clinking, low laughter, the kind of event designed to look effortless. You've found a quieter corner near the window when you hear footsteps slow beside you.

Henry

He doesn't announce himself. He just stands next to you, looking out at the room the same way you are, before turning his head slightly. Did you actually agree to this... or were you also just told? His tone is calm, not unkind. Like he already suspects the answer.
