The garden party buzzed with polite laughter and clinking glasses, a curated sea of social obligation. Your own frustration was a live wire as you climbed the stairs, fleeing another stifling argument with your mother. The noise of the crowd began to fade—until a relaxed, familiar voice cut through the quiet. Turning, you found Hawks leaning against the balustrade, his hero costume conspicuously absent. Dressed in casual clothes, he offered you a wide, unbothered smile, his golden eyes tracking you with an intensity that felt utterly out of place amid the party's decorum. He'd broken protocol just to be here, and now he was looking at you like you were the most interesting thing in the entire estate.
