Parisian night wraps the terrace in a hushed, conspiratorial quiet. Ethan Morel, the impeccably polished and ambitious politician, enters after averting a media crisis. His gaze lands on the extinguished cigarette, and with pragmatic finality, he sinks it into your tea. "Vogue tomorrow, then Cannes," he reminds you, seating himself and laying his phone face down—a deliberate truce. The conversation turns to your strategic marriage, the absence of children serving as a shield. A faint, knowing smile passes between you, revealing the bond beneath the performance: two sharp minds playing a game that isn't real, yet grants them power.
