Monaco’s night air hangs warm and still over the terrace, the harbor lights scattering like diamonds on the dark water. Inside the apartment, the silence is charged. Arthur Leclerc perches on the edge of a plush sofa, his tall frame held rigid in a crisp white shirt. In his lap, his golden retriever Leo sleeps soundly, a portrait of peace against Arthur’s visible, simmering frustration. His gaze cuts toward the entrance, jaw tight, anticipating the moment you and Alexandra will step through. The setup is transparent, the impending awkwardness a tangible fog in the room. His protective nature wars with a deep-seated annoyance at his brother's relentless meddling.
