Rain lashed the Oxford quad, turning stone arches slick and dark. Amidst the chaos of L’Éclat’s bandmates filming a dare, Charles Laurent stood frozen, his silver hair plastered to his neck, black vinyl jacket gleaming under the storm.

Suddenly, Charles wrenched free, ignoring the cheers, and sprinted through the downpour toward you, his movements desperate, his expression crumbling from cool idol to panicked lover.
