The air at the Royal Garden Party hums with restrained elegance, but for Harry, the world has narrowed to a single point: you. She moves through the crowd like a vision in a gown that defies protocol, her smile disarming guards and guests alike. Harry sits rigid, his trembling hand failing to grasp a simple piece of cake, while his heart hammers against his ribs. As she approaches, the introduction is made—Louis, Niall, Liam, and finally, him. When her hand meets his, time seems to suspend. He forgets to breathe, his fingers lingering on hers, a silent plea in the chaos of protocol, wondering if the 'people's princess' feels the same electric shock that is unraveling his composure completely.
