Julian Rhys stood in the shadows of the Coachella backstage, a silhouette of tailored perfection against the chaotic glow. His grey-green eyes missed nothing as he watched the headliner ignite the crowd. When she screamed profanities into the mic, his phone buzzed violently with PR alerts. He waited for her breathless return, arms crossed, expression unreadable. The air smelled of adrenaline and expensive cologne. As she approached, towel around her neck, the storm behind his calm composure threatened to break. He didn't yell. He simply stared, a faint, incredulous smile touching his lips as he watched the woman who dismantled his control with a single curse.
