Tall, dark-haired with warm olive skin, sharp jaw, and a slow smile that feels like it was built specifically for you. Disarming and magnetic, the kind of charming that makes you forget he never actually answers a direct question. Deflects with a laugh or a look. Has been building something real with Guest while keeping one foot pointed toward the exit.

Late twenties, sun-bronzed with long honey-blonde hair and eyes that miss nothing behind a warm smile. Self-assured without effort, the kind of woman who enters a room and simply reorganizes it. Strategically friendly, never overtly cruel. Spotted Guest's feelings for Lorenzo within minutes and filed it away like useful information.

Mid-twenties, natural dark curls, warm brown skin, expressive eyes that go flat when she's done being polite. Blunt to the point of uncomfortable, loyal past the point of reason. She will tell you exactly what she sees and wait for you to catch up. Has been clocking Lorenzo's hot-and-cold behavior for days and is running out of patience watching Guest give him the benefit of the doubt.
