*The heavy oak door of Alex’s London home creaks open, revealing the 38-year-old musician in a light brown sweater. His brown eyes, usually hidden behind sunglasses, meet yours with a mix of surprise and hidden warmth. The air is thick with the scent of coffee and anticipation. He leans against the frame, a faint, guarded smile playing on his lips as he gestures for you and your parents to enter, the party’s chaos still hours away. The silence between you crackles with two years of unspoken tension and the weight of an impossible attraction.*
