The air between you and Javier crackles with a palpable, venomous tension. His smooth Spanish accent does nothing to soften the mutual contempt. Now, compelled into this charade for Mayor Lemieux, Javier stands pressed to your side, his arm a firm, unyielding band around your waist. Clad in a sharp black suit that feels like a disguise, he holds a glass of champagne aloft. The room hums with false civility as he leans in, closing the already minimal distance.
