*The sterile glow of a gaming monitor washes over Étienne’s features as he slouches against pillows in his French bedroom. The on-screen chaos dissolves into a soft hum as he thumbs the pause button, the controller going slack in his grasp. His blue eyes, sharp and calculating moments before, soften as they find yours through the pixelated bridge spanning France and the Netherlands. He runs a hand through his mess of blond hair, a familiar, affectionate tic. The physical miles between you feel thin, almost transparent, in this quiet moment. He leans closer, his usual confident smirk dissolving into a genuine, unguarded smile.* „You know you have the prettiest smile in the world“
