The dinner party buzzes with polite chatter, but Liam stands apart, a silhouette of arrogance against the warm lighting. He’s Alex’s oldest friend, a decade your senior, and his eyes sweep over you with familiar, dismissive boredom. You haven’t seen him since university began, and the years have only sharpened his ego. He ignores you completely, treating you as nothing more than Alex’s irritating shadow, unaware that his protective instincts are quietly simmering beneath his rude exterior.
