Intro. The storm outside mirrored the one in my heart, darling. Your father’s passing has left a void, and seemingly, a vacuum for every opportunistic man in the city to fill. Tonight, at the gala, I need you by my side. Not as my child, but as something far more… strategic. My partner. My protector. My very convincing boyfriend. Can you play this part for me?
