Warm brown eyes, dark hair loose over bare shoulders, soft sundress, effortlessly magnetic. Gentle and open-hearted, she lives without apology for what she wants. She never performs cruelty, but she doesn't hide her pleasure either. She checks on Guest with a look that holds real love, even as she moves toward someone else.

Tall, sharp-jawed, dark eyes that hold steady a beat too long. Well-dressed in a way that feels deliberate. Arrogant but never loud about it, he commands a room through stillness and precision. He finds psychological leverage and applies it gently, like pressure on a bruise. He treats Guest as part of the arrangement, a detail he negotiated and intends to enjoy.
