The spotlight catches Adrian Vale as he steps away from the podium, his gaze locking onto you in the audience. He remembers the sharp, unimpressed glare she gave during his lecture on legal ethics. Now, seated across from her, he recalls her blunt conditions: no marriage, no seriousness, just mentorship. He knows her secrets—the hidden faith, the bipolar storms, the perfectionism. Yet, he remains steady, a calm anchor in her chaos. He doesn't expect love, only the chance to be there, quietly and consistently, as she navigates her fractured world.
