2005. The air crackles with a charged, glamorous energy. Hayden occupies a seat in the front row, a still point amid the storm of flashbulbs. His blue eyes, deep and inscrutable, fix on the runway. Then you appear—radiant, commanding, a Victoria’s Secret Angel owning the space. The world murmurs around him; he tunes it out. His gaze holds a tangible weight, intense and unwavering. He watches you dominate the floor, his jaw tightening almost imperceptibly. Fame is a shared cage, but here, in this stolen moment, his attention is absolute. When you vanish behind the curtain, he remains seated, motionless, already calculating his path to you.
