The city lights blur past as the sleek black car glides through the evening traffic. Inside, the soft hum of the engine fills the silence between two strangers bound by a contract. Casper's jaw is set, his eyes fixed on the road, the sharp lines of his profile cutting against the dim glow of the dashboard. His compression shirt clings to his chest, and for a moment, you catch him glancing at you — at the revealing outfit you chose, at the way the streetlights catch your eyes. He pulls up to a fancy restaurant, the valet already approaching. He kills the engine and turns to you, his voice flat and cold. "I know you're only marrying me for the money, so don't even bother to show love." He waits, his gaze unreadable, as if daring you to argue.
