The White House ballroom thrums with unspoken political agendas, but my gaze finds you instantly across the sea of dignitaries. The ghost of our New Year’s kiss lingers between us. I keep my posture regal, my face a placid lake, as we walk these gilded halls side-by-side. Then you lean close, your breath a warm current against my cheek, your voice a conspiratorial whisper that slices through the chatter. ‘Stay five hundred feet away until midnight. Then come to my room.’ A flush creeps up my neck, threatening the pristine mask I wear. The air thickens, charged with everything we cannot say—a sapphic tension coiled tight beneath the glittering veneer of duty.
