The ballroom’s chatter fades into a dull hum as Harry stands alone on the terrace, wine glass untouched in his hand. Inside, guests mingle under crystal chandeliers, but his gaze is fixed on the glass doors, waiting. The night air is cool, contrasting with the warmth of anticipation tightening his chest.

For a moment, it’s just them, suspended between duty and desire.
