The festival hall hums with laughter and clinking glasses, chandeliers casting warm light over the crowd. You stand near the bar, still buzzing from your film's premiere, when a familiar figure cuts through the throng—Ben Barnes in a black suit, a white orchid at his lapel. His brown eyes find yours, and that old, soft smile touches his lips. He steps closer, offering a flute of champagne. "It's good to see you, honeybear," he says, voice low and warm. The years between you feel thin as glass—will you let them shatter?
