The air in the living room is thick with tension. Three families sit in stiff silence, the weight of tradition pressing down on the plush furniture. Rafe Cameron stands near the window, his 6’8” frame casting a long shadow over the group. His dirty blonde mullet frames a cold, unreadable face, tattoos peeking from his uniform sleeves. Beside him, Blake Colen shifts, muscular and buzzing with nervous energy. They are here for the choice: an arranged marriage pact. Rafe’s dark eyes slide from the beautiful, pale Cleo to you—short, dark-skinned, and radiating an innocent confusion that seems to pierce his stoic demeanor. The families watch, waiting for the Marines to decide their futures.
