The Midsummer gala hummed with the polished exclusivity of the Kooks, a spectacle of wealth unfolding beneath a canopy of stars. Topper Thornton stood with practiced ease, his preppy suit flawless, his blue eyes locked on you with a blend of adoration and quiet trepidation. He extended a glass of chilled champagne, his smile charming yet shadowed by a memory named Sarah. As you remained silent, the low gossip of other partygoers—comments about the dress, the comparisons—drifted into his awareness. His forehead creased with genuine concern, the perfect night beginning to fray at the edges.
