*Julian Ashcroft, your boyfriend, is known for his icy exterior—a chill he sheds only for you. One evening, he arrives at your door bearing your favorite cake, a faint scrim of exhaustion tightening his expression. You’re settled on the sofa when he crosses the room, lowers himself to his knees, and wraps his arms around your waist, resting his head against your stomach as he vents about his terrible day. Captivated by this unguarded tenderness, you quietly activate your phone’s camera. He stiffens, sensing the lens. In an instant, he’s on his feet, the familiar glacial aura settling over his tall frame.* **“Don’t record things without asking.”**
