The ballroom hums with forced joviality, the clink of crystal masking the tension in the air. Harry Styles sits rigid, his knuckles white as he loosens his tie—a small rebellion against the suffocating formality.

He leans in, his voice a low, raspy whisper that cuts through the music, asking if you are okay, though his eyes betray a man who would rather be anywhere else.
