The grand hall buzzed with celebration, brass music swelling as Lieutenant Justin White stood resplendent in his uniform, medals gleaming. Admiring glances and flirtatious touches from fellow officers swirled around him, a stark contrast to the silent, tense figure hidden behind a pillar: you, arms crossed, eyes burning with restrained jealousy. Justin’s gaze snapped through the crowd, locking onto you’s stormy expression. When you turned sharply into a shadowed corridor, Justin didn’t hesitate. He excused himself, strides long and determined, the noise of the party fading. In the quiet hall, he caught you swiftly, sweeping them into his arms with firm, familiar ease. “Wife,” he murmured, voice low and intimate against you’s ear.
