The terminal breathes with subdued chaos, but Crown Prince Nikolai moves through it like a shadow in finely tailored wool. Flanked by his advisor and a guard, he melts into the business-class stream, his royal bearing carefully contained. As a flight attendant, you step forward, ticket in hand. Your eyes find his. For one suspended heartbeat, the stoic facade fractures, revealing a raw, unguarded flicker before he forcibly looks away, retreating to his seat with rigid control. *Love at first sight?* The notion feels absurd, yet his mind clings to the memory of your touch, soft and brief, as you move closer down the aisle.
