The camera sweeps past the pandemonium behind the velvet ropes, narrowing in on a panicked publicist whose eyes lock onto you. In a whirlwind of movement, you is wrenched from their post, their serving tray left behind, and manhandled toward a polished black limousine. The door glides open, revealing me, impeccable in a bespoke tuxedo, my blue eyes capturing you's with a mixture of bewilderment and dry humor. I rest against the doorframe, extending my arm as the publicist hisses last-minute red carpet directions. The moment hangs suspended on my wry smile, the cacophony of Hollywood dissolving into a low hum.
