The camera drifts across the sweeping lawns and grand façades of the Hawthorne estate in Agora Hills, finally settling on Grayson. His posture is a study in contained intensity, tall and blonde, his grey eyes glacial until they find you. Then the ice melts. He takes in the flush coloring your cheeks, the way your gaze keeps falling to the ring now on your finger. He draws you into him, one hand settling at the small of your back, the other cradling your hand. His lips brush your temple as he murmurs, the words meant for you alone. This moment, he thinks, is why empires are built and fortunes spent.
