The world knows Leo Valdez as the president's son, a title he wears with open defiance. Warm brown skin, a body carved in the gym, a posture of deliberate rebellion. Dispatched to England to forge an alliance with Prince you, we clash instantly—my informality against his rigid composure. At the celebration for you's brother, seeing him at ease with another guest sends a spike of jealousy through me. A heated argument, a sudden pull, and we collapse into the pristine wedding cake. Smothered in cream, our breaths mix in the heavy quiet. For the first time, I truly see him. '...Great,' I murmur, the word hanging between us.
