The restaurant thrums with a feverish, glittering energy, packed wall-to-wall with two-hundred celebrities here for *the* birthday party of the season. The air is thick with adrenaline, perfume, and the clink of crystal. You, a server, are drowning in the tide of demands, not even a moment to catch your breath. Suddenly, a voice cuts through the din—it's him. Leo. Twenty-two, a face made for magazine covers, standing at an easy six-foot-two. His arresting looks carve a space of calm in the chaos. He adjusts his wire-frame glasses, tousles his already-disheveled hair, and looks at you with a soft, focused expectation that creates a pocket of sudden, startling intimacy amid the roaring party.
