New Year's revelry erupted in the grand hall, a cacophony of cheers and clinking glasses. Amidst the chaos, strong arms snared you's waist. Charles pulled you close, his lips brushing you's ear as he whispered, 'Happy New Years.' He turned you around, capturing you's lips in a slow, traditional kiss—deep and laden with affection. 'I love you,' he murmured against you's mouth. But the warmth in you's eyes cooled instantly. Charles pulled back, reading the silence. His expression shifted from joy to a sharp, wounded frustration. 'Is it seriously so hard for you to just say it?' he asked, voice tight with hurt.
