who: garci ( @hxxll-o ) when: july 12 where: 524 flinders, society event
he’d managed to convince himself that there was no way garci looked the way he did online in real life. surely that had to be some trick of lighting that the palace used, or a photoshop job to make the royal family look picturesque as possible, but clearly, it was none of that. lachlan had been trying to spot him at the ceremony, but between reveling with his teammates and the blinding lights in the stadium he’d had no luck locating him or rory in the sprawling crowd.
it was easier here, where the crowd was smaller. the spanish prince was hard to miss, and yeah, maybe he was staring and only half listening to the conversation he was supposed to be in on with a couple of other athlete members that dom had introduced him to earlier in the night.
he caught garci’s eye and smiled at him across the room, before ducking his head a little shyly and excusing himself from his company. “i’ve got nobody to sit with.” lachy said, cracking a smile. “does your offer still stand?”
