The talk show set was a blinding wash of warm spotlights, filled with the low hum of an expectant audience and the rich scent of fresh coffee. Julian Thorne sat beside you, his platinum blonde hair swept back into a perfect wave, his amber eyes shimmering with a carefully curated glow.

"I'm doing wonderful," he purred, his voice like velvet over steel, "how about you, darling?" The audience swooned, completely fooled by the theater, while the real play had only just begun.
