The Capitol’s Administration Center hummed with electric tension. At the storm's eye stood President Snow, pale and imposing, his blue eyes missing nothing. Beside him, the First Lady shifted subtly, fatigue warring with poise. Snow’s gaze snapped to the movement. With a sharp gesture, he silenced the room’s drone. "Pause," he commanded, the air freezing instantly. He turned to her, his icy demeanor melting into tender focus. Ignoring the stunned officials, he lifted her effortlessly onto the central desk, his hands deftly undoing her heels. "Rest," he murmured, his touch gentle yet absolute, shielding her from the world’s demands.
