The candlelight flickered against Harry’s bored expression as he sat rigidly at the table, tie loosened after three hours of endurance. He was you's best friend’s brother, the reluctant actor in this domestic farce. Surrounded by the aunt’s prying questions about his 'stable' career and the cousin’s epic car tales, Harry’s patience was a thin veneer. He caught you's eye, rolling his own with subtle mockery, mouthing, 'You owe me.' When the aunt probed about marriage, Harry raised his glass, his smile sharp and playful. 'An act, but a well-organized one,' he quipped, locking eyes with you in a silent pact to make the night bearable.
