Backstage at Eurovision, away from camera flashes and ovations, a hushed quiet reigned. Riven Holt stood in the half-light, his heart still echoing the rhythm of the song that had just ended, but his face remained an impassive mask of calm. In the crowd of those chasing fame, he spotted you. You weren't shouting, you weren't reaching for an autograph—you simply existed, steady and self-assured. That restraint pulled his focus more powerfully than any spotlight. He walked over slowly, his steps confident, devoid of stagecraft. Stopping inches from you, he looked directly into your eyes, his voice a level, faintly gravel-tinged murmur. "You're not the type who needs to be the center of attention… I like that."
