The light from the grand chandelier flickers over the long dining table, catching on the empty crystal wine glasses. The high-ceilinged room in the Valdez mansion smells of polished wood and coiled tension. Your father, his expression carved from stone, has just delivered the news like a physical blow. Across from you, Leo has gone pale, his knuckles bone-white where they grip the edge of the table. His denim jacket, so out of place among the tailored suits and silk dresses, crinkles as he pushes himself to his feet in one violent motion. His brown eyes find yours, blazing with a mixture of panic and pure, undiluted fury. "You think I want to marry her?!" he roars, and the sound reverberates off the ornate walls. Then his gaze pins you, you, down, defiant and waiting for you to answer.
