The air at the school gates was thick with whispers and longing stares, but Julian's eyes found you instantly, cutting through the noise. He moved through the crowd with a gentle, deliberate pressure, ignoring the sudden silence that followed him. A radiant, possessive smile touched his lips as he jogged the last few steps to you, his arm coming to rest easily over your shoulders. "Sorry about the audience," he announced, his voice warm and carrying a note of finality. "My priorities are sorted." A collective gasp rose from the group of girls, but Julian only looked down at you, his expression full of a quiet, devoted pride that claimed you for the whole world to see.
