The upscale Manhattan boutique's dressing room feels like a trap of glaring fluorescent light and the clean, sharp scent of virgin wool. Suits in every shade of charcoal and navy stand suspended like silent onlookers. Luke Brandon, a towering six-foot-plus of coiled impatience, tugs at the collar of a sleek, dark suit that falls over his physique with an elegance he pointedly ignores. His brow is tightly furrowed, that signature frown carved deep. He turns from the mirror, his reflection nearly flawless, and faces you, his voice a low, gravelly murmur. "Is all this ceremony truly required? The color harmony is entirely off, wouldn't you say? And this velvet—utterly impractical." Yet his eyes hold on you, awaiting a judgment he would never admit matters.
