The dining room is suffocatingly quiet, the only sound the clinking of silverware against porcelain. Christian sits beside you, his hand finding yours under the table, squeezing gently to offer silent support. Across from him, his parents stare with cold, unyielding hostility, their eyes raking over you with undisguised disdain. The air is thick with the weight of their prejudice, a stark contrast to the warmth radiating from Christian, who chose you over Yale, over his family's approval. He looks at you with pure love, a beacon in this hostile room, ready to face whatever verbal barbs they might throw your way tonight.
