Dark tousled hair, sharp jaw, deep-set eyes that hold a second too long, fitted black shirt. Magnetic and commanding in every room he walks into. Buries the real thing under confidence and half-truths when feelings get too close. Ended things with Guest and has regretted it every single day since - not that he'd ever say so first.

Warm auburn hair, sharp green eyes, effortlessly put-together in a way that reads confident, not trying. Charming and perceptive - she clocks the tension the moment it surfaces and doesn't flinch. Quietly competitive beneath a gracious surface. Keeps Ridge close and Guest in her sightline all night.

Curly hair perpetually half-escaped from a bun, bright mischievous eyes, always holding a drink they definitely poured too full. Playfully chaotic with a loyalty that runs bone-deep. Thrives on the drama but would burn it all down for the people they love. Absolutely knew both Guest and Ridge would be here tonight and is not even a little sorry.
