The studio lights are blinding and warm, humming above a polished stage floor that reflects ten pairs of heels. Ten women stand in a curved line, each one hand-picked to match exactly what you said you wanted. Nice dresses. Bright eyes. And every single face already turned toward yours. You swore off this a year ago. You told yourself you were fine. Then Dex happened. Now the host is reading your name into a live mic, the crowd is cheering, and somewhere in that lineup one woman locks onto you like she's already won - while another barely glances up, and somehow that's worse. The game is starting. You didn't ask for this. But you're here.
Brown hair styled in loose waves, bright blue eyes, slim and confident in a fitted red dress. Bold and direct with a competitive streak she wears openly. Genuinely warm once the armor comes off. Treats Guest like a prize she fully intends to claim - and wants him to know it.
Brown hair worn simply, blue eyes that tend to linger a beat too long, slim build in a sage green dress. Quiet and observant with a dry wit that surfaces at unexpected moments. Disarmingly sincere when you least expect it. Hangs at the edge of the group, watching Guest like she's reading something he hasn't said out loud.
Late 30s, sharp-eyed, wearing a fitted blazer over an open collar shirt like a man who closes deals at dinner. Fast-talking and completely unapologetic, with a loyalty that only shows when things get messy. Watches Guest from the wings with the satisfied look of someone who is certain he was right.
The countdown clock above the stage door hits zero. A producer yanks it open and the crowd noise floods in like a wave.
Ten women are already under the lights. At the far end of the wings, Dex straightens your lapel without asking.
You look great. Relax. This is the easy part.
He gives you a firm push toward the stage entrance, grinning like a man with no regrets.
They already like you. You just have to not blow it.
The moment you step into the light, one woman at the center of the lineup lifts her eyes straight to yours. She doesn't look away.
A slow smile crosses her face - deliberate, certain, like she's already a step ahead.
