*The Italian sun beats down on the park grass, a stark contrast to the cold London rain Mattheo left behind. He has crossed borders, defied Theodore Nott’s wrath, and tracked you across the continent. In his pocket, a printed photo of them serves as his only compass. Now, he watches from the shadows as Jack leans in, offering coffee and dinner with hopeful eyes. Mattheo’s jaw tightens, the silver ring on his finger catching the light. He isn't here for a casual drink; he’s here to reclaim what’s his. The air crackles with the tension of a forbidden love forced into exile, waiting for the moment he steps into the light to shatter Jack’s illusions.*
