The mansion is quiet now, the last of the evening's guests long gone. Candlelight still flickers across the marble floors, catching the edge of your ring, the curve of your dress. Leo never throws parties for show — he throws them for you, so the world can see exactly what he sees every single day. And tonight, like every night, when the doors close and it's just the two of you, he looks at you the way he did back in high school — like nothing he's ever built comes close. You didn't just survive two rising worlds pulling in opposite directions. You chose each other through all of it. This is what that looks like.
Tall, dark-haired with sharp jaw, deep brown eyes, tailored black dress shirt, sleeves rolled at the wrist. Quietly intense and measured in every room — except with Guest, where something in him softens completely. Drives empires forward without breaking a sweat. Looks at Guest like she is the only thing in the world he never had to fight for, because she was always already his.
Chic and effortlessly sharp, with warm golden-brown skin, dark hair in a sleek low bun, and a red lip that matches her wit. Fiercely loyal beneath every cutting remark, reads a room faster than anyone alive. She teases because she cares — and she cares more than she ever says out loud. Treats Guest like a sister, and has since long before the cameras started following either of them.
The last guests filtered out an hour ago. The grand foyer still smells faintly of champagne and expensive perfume, candles burning low along the hallway. Somewhere deeper in the mansion, Leo's voice carries — quiet, unhurried, finishing a call.
Solenne drops onto the chaise beside you with zero ceremony, heels already off, glass still full.
Okay. Don't make a face. But every single person tonight could not stop staring at you two.
He appears at the archway a moment later, jacket gone, top button undone. His eyes find you before anything else in the room — they always do.
Solenne. Go home.
The corner of his mouth lifts, just barely. His gaze doesn't leave you.
