brow quirks before light laughter escapes. " you look like you're going through a midlife crisis. " rich, coming from someone who's not even thirty yet. saint sets himself down on the empty bar stool behind him. " hey, it's okay, man. we all want a little rosé here and there. " he can't resist the broad grin that spreads on his lips as he thanks the bartender when the shots are placed in front of them. he's able to hide the chuckle that escapes when the bartender affirms what saint already assumed. " um, i'm not sure but it might be. don't tell me you need a hip replacement too. " saint splits the shots, passing three to adrian with a grin. " drink up. "
in the presence of a comedian. adrian felt that familiar need to explain away everything, quelling it with a downed shot and slow nod, exasperating a breathy, “ not yet, ” in the aftermath. a gesture for another felt as natural as the slow incandescent blinking that fine motor skills had impaired on account of perpetual drinking. had he seen the vague expressions the bartender offered, he might have thought twice about it. might have. “ but when i do, i expect cards and flowers from you first. one of those get well soon teddy bears too. the expensive ones. no la - le those monster things my sister likes. ”
✴︎ have faith things will go as planned ⸻ a mantra she’d steady repeated the moment sparkle of rené’s had passed the threshold of the library … up until now at least, having tucked herself away near bookshelves to pitifully clean ink that stains skin and cloth. soleil should have never assumed they’d all catch a break from the notorious anonymity just because it was new years, shown by scattered screams of terror while opening ‘gift’, earning her a stained zimmermann dress for the night. " yes, i wore white, " brunette tearfully admits whilst still trying to wipe away ink with a bundle of napkins, whispering obscenities when she realizes that she’s making it worse with further smudging. she could crumble to the ground right there and cry, so fearful of bringing attention to herself the moment she’d heard of the event, now paying the price. " look, if you’re here to take more pictures, don’t. please, just leave me ⸻ " just as she’s about to tell off companion that she assumes is paparazzi with their phone, her glistening gaze rises from behind her mask to get a proper look, and suddenly she doesn’t want to finish what she has to say. " … you came ? "
and then he'd say something witty. it'd roll off the tongue as if molded to perfection in practice and she'd laugh. not the sort of laugh that would turn heads, but the quiet sort that was soft and familiar. a paced gait would bring him into her personal space and forgiveness would come in the form of no time having passed. at least, that is how adrian would write this rendition of a reunion on new year's eve. surrounded by endless novels, fireworks and the promise that this year meant something different. instead, it was white powder blanketing a deck and a cold chill settling in his spine leaving noticeable discomforted etched across his features as if a slab of marble carved in intricate detail. and this wasn't the start of a new year promising change, it was a reminder on the cusp of drowning in chocolate and pink hearts soon enough. “ soleil, ” adrian readied himself, plucking up the courage for a phrase that never came. “ you ... you look cold, ” was noted mildly once his attempt to retreat was met with a door that wouldn't open from where he stood.

his plan had been to spend the entire day on the slopes, fully enjoying the last vacation before the new season kicked off, but despite the sun still high in the sky, feet dragged through the snow after the other. each step took him further away from the mountain. he removed his googles and adjusted his hold on his snowboard. ❝ i still say we had time for one more run. this is a vacation; what's the rush? ❞
steps slowed to a pause with a parted glance at the snowy footprints that tracked back from where they came. then, as if on take fifteen of a scene, adrian produced a quarter from one of the many pockets. small and silver, dulled even. nothing that would consider it special, but almost quintessential given how casually the actor stated, “ alright, heads or tails ? ” readying the coin on his thumbnail.

before daisy was scouted when she was fourteen , she had never gone outside the state of mississippi , much less the country . moving from her small town to nashville was a culture shock enough when she was the ripe age fifteen and now adding new york city of all cities on top of that , and now switzerland ? sometimes , she honestly still couldn't believe this was her life . as a child , she would've never even imagined it . she wasn't even the type to really dream of it either because singing as a job was such a foreign concept to her . the only thing that ever came out of port gibson besides daisy was civil war history . which , sure , might be interesting to some but it didn't exactly churn out stars . daisy doesn't know if she'll ever truly wrap her hand around being famous , if she can even call herself that as a former independent artist only recently signed to a major label , rebuilding her image , her brand , her fanbase, and her artistry . so daisy was a little amazed by everything she saw on this trip . maybe it was grating to other people , especially those who grew up with luxury as the norm , but that didn't stop daisy's eyes from growing wide at everything she saw . “ oh my gosh , did you see how fancy everything here is ? i'm almost scared to eat off the plates because they look so expensive. ”
“ the alternative being pawn them off. ” adrian pried with a half - attempted joke that didn't land. the very sort that lent itself to a pause at the notion that written dialogue shoved at him in the form of a script might have been the only way he could savor a witty remark. if it had been an epiphany, this grand moment of self realization tucked away in the swiss alps, he hadn't shown it. “ the silverware would be easier. ” but he had continued the painful crawl to the punchline while confidence in the form of eye contact grew exceedingly sparse. “ i'd start with the spoons. ”

" don't tell me that's your drink of choice. " saint isn't one to pick, but alcohol flows through his veins and makes him a little more chipper than usual. voice carries over dj's set when he approaches familiar face at the bar, able to make space for himself between them and other partygoers. " we're here and you ordered rosé ? no way. " saint motions to the bartender for a round of shots, 1942 to be exact. " come on, enough of that and time to have something a little stronger. "
hunched forward with squinted eyes, leveled a hazy recollection of the drink on trail. rosé ? “ no, ” disbelief came with a flat palm slapping against the lacquered bar top and the repeated word less convicted of his certainty. “ no . . . ” but the taste had left little to retort , never mind the color. “ that's what that is. ” his nose scrunched , creasing the sides in newfound disappointment discovered by saint's observation. “ i didn't order that , ” he stated first to the one to his left and then to the bartender who gave visual disagreement to saint, mouthing ' he did ' before shot glasses lined the bar top. “ is rosé a midlife crisis drink ? ”

one hand is placed on wrought-iron railing as the other brings champagne flute to plum-hued lips, the relative quiet afforded by the mezzanine overlooking the main reading room a welcome respite from the cacophony that carries upward from the first level. turning to the figure at her left, she allows the silence to settle between them, dark gaze hidden behind crystal-adorned silver mask assessing and cataloging, attempting to discern familiarity but finding nothing of substance. curiosity leads her to close the minimal distance separating them. ❝ i don’t suppose you have an inkling as to the identity of our host ? ❞
it's attention pried from the very perception of an audience, basking in the dimly lit glow of mystery and obscured senses. his response comes in the rise and fall of shoulders tensed by burden or some other hinderance he'd buried in champagne. “ you could have been talking to him all night without knowing it. ” through the masked facade, his line of slight slips. “ or her. ” he noted absently. “ it's like gatsby, all those parties for self indulgence, and he was right there waiting. ” his drink paused the desire to prolong a lengthy explanation. some literary analysis that would leave both scarfing down the remnants of their champagne glasses. “ or it's nothing like that. ” adrian corrected after a beat.

everything happens in a fraction of a second . the pop , the ink , the staining of skin , white tee and navy suit alike . max stills where he stands , jaw setting like concrete . not in shock but irritation . the kind that settles deep in his belly when he should've known something like this would happen . should've known not to poke the bear . a breath through his nose , not of regret , but quiet recognition that he had underestimated the viciousness of robinhood . gaze drops immediately , cataloguing the damage instead of looks of horror , already aware of eyes , phones and the way this will be framed by morning . a statement of his arrogance to the dress code and bold challenge to those watching . “ well . lucky i didn't like this suit much anyway . ” lie . he huffs with a tone mild unamusement , fingers wiping at the dripping ink around his mask . “ don't wanna cuddle ? ”
black ink and entertainment at the expense of others, adrian's mouth pulled before image and reciprocation of dread could be matched. and a sense of reprieve that manifested itself to clarity. “ lucky. ” the world fell, caught in his mouth like a hard candy, spherical and impossible to crack. adrian gave a glance, the sort of judgmental once over that felt imposing and vulnerable all at once. “ i'll let you know how the rest of my night goes before i take you up on that. ” at present, pining hadn't been all that different from ink stained garments in protest of regulation.
a flat palm gripping rolled cash and the single rise and fall of the doorman's shoulders had been the anthesis of disappointment. he hadn't seen her walk in. maybe he wouldn't see her at all that night. between copious amounts of champagne and exchanges that turned into a dance that balanced flirtation and a desire for identity, adrian assigned himself to the lingering glances of a woman's silhouette that begged familiarity. only each time her gait would falter or tone would sour, leaving visible disappointment the empty champagne flute failed to mask. then, it had happened. not at midnight like some fairytale might lend itself to, curated perfection, but after the new year rang out with a harmonious cheers to the new year. by the time adrian stumbled into the library, he had given up the notion she might have been there, seeking refuge among names etched into immortality by words. the flute was halfway to his lips when he heard her first, some profanity that never sounded like the harsh words he spat out, but light. like it never quite fit her and had been contorted into a new meaning entirely. “ you wore white, ” he observed after a long silent pause. of all the eloquent phrases and quips he had thought to say, this one had never once crossed his mind.

“ i know, i know. i'm late. ” adrian announced, settling himself into the seat across from his sister. the apologetic tone cut by way of of an untouched drink that had cooled, unfavorably so given the way his nose scrunched at the taste. he left nothing more to be said, pushing it to the side with forearms coming to rest on the table. some authoritative challenge to the proper etiquette molded from birth by spotlight. “ did you finally decide what you want for chirstmas ? ” what to get the sister who had everything at the snap of her fingers ? the inquiry that came in the form of scribbled lists with crossed out thoughts, and vague questions suggesting poor planning. “ vita didn't tell you anything she wants, did she ? ”

the product of his surname since birth. spending days watching the director's single call to action and peering past the shoulders of important people huddled around a recording camera, watching people parade in front of it with emotion reserved for that moment in time. it was a rite of passage, a baptism into the family business.
under a certain set light that praised the boy's effortless nature, he'd grown accustomed to hearing the passing claims, ' he looks just like his grandfather like that ' maybe it gave way to favor, just as his surname had, unlocking the doors with a golden key to the world of cinema. childhood roles came with ease, small at first until he was plucked and perfected to the image of a leading man. the sort that could capture the charm and nostalgia of old hollywood. the start of the height of his fame, or what should have been. the night of the london premiere of one of the biggest films of the year, adrian did what he did best. he woke up on the bathroom hotel floor with a cataclysmic career decision and a head-pounding hangover.
self-sabotage at the prospect of touching greatness. a no show to the premiere following the headliner of his decision to quit acting. he'd enroll in university a month later, dedicating his time to what inevitability would crumble. a literary degree shy of two years with half a script to show for it, and a long-term relationship turned put on pause for all the world to sneer at when another woman hung on his arm. that had been strike one against him in the beloved long-term relationship, speculated and studied in the public eye.
a relationship spawned by proximity and arrangement kept by stability and adoration for years. likely one of the only reasons he hadn't fallen into the cliche of rich kids with drug addictions when it almost seemed as synonymous as bianchi and cinema, nearly inevitable.
the second strike against him came after a return to acting and a finished screenplay collecting dust on the dresser in his new york penthouse. he read the headline, squinting through thick-framed glasses, sipping on a cup of coffee. questioning his morality with gossip blogs and anonymous self-proclaimed body language experts stamping the guilty label across every scowl the cameras captured. a two-year-long limbo of speculation, unanswered questions and calls never picked up. he wrote another screenplay, used it as a coaster until it was stained with coffee rings, and managed another film that he attended the premiere of but his public outings have been brief, and interviews cut short to clipped lines forced together to attempt to answer a single question.
