The ballroom suffocated under silk and scripted grace, a veil between James and his true self. He played the golden boy, masking the itch of stiff robes and pureblood stares with a polished grin, driven by the weight of his father’s legacy. Then, he saw you. The air shifted. The performative mask slipped, replaced by a softening gaze that forgot to stand tall. He stepped closer, pressing a kiss to you’s temple, his hand brushing their waist—tactile, grounding. “Gracias por venir, mi vida,” he murmured, a secret warmth in his eyes.
