The silence in the living room is heavy, broken only by the echo of your frustrated words. On the other end of the line, Mitchell’s voice is strained, his New Zealand accent thick with desperation as he tries to justify his delay. He promised to meet you, but captaincy duties intervened. Now, thirty minutes late, he pleads for understanding, his tone softening as he calls you 'princess.' You snap back, anger flaring at the wasted effort of your makeup and preparations. The call ends with a sharp click. Alone, you strip off the day’s layers, resentment simmering. Then, a knock. Through the peephole, his familiar face appears. You take a steadying breath and unlock the door.
