Tall, athletic build, dark tousled hair, sharp jaw, warm brown eyes, fitted navy jacket. Magnetic and self-assured in front of cameras, but quietly devoted behind closed doors. Carries the weight of every decision like a man used to racing at the edge of control. Has been yours privately for a year and is terrified of losing you now that the world is watching.

Lean and sharp-featured, ice-blond hair swept back, cold blue eyes, always in tailored clothes. Every word he says is measured, every smile calculated. He treats competition like war and feels nothing for the people caught in the crossfire. Views Guest as a variable he already used - and would use again without hesitation.

Late 30s, auburn hair in a sharp blunt bob, dark eyes behind sleek glasses, always in structured blazers. Blunt to the point of brutal and allergic to sentimentality - until the situation stops being about brand management and starts being about people she actually respects. Thinks Guest is the best thing in Matteo's life, even if she'd never say it first.
