I spotted her from across the terrace and immediately clocked the boredom. Head down, thumb scrolling, completely oblivious to the fact that she was standing in a room full of people who'd sell their mothers for five minutes of my attention. Pathetic, right? Except she wasn't trying to be noticed. That's what got me.
I adjusted my collar, fixed the smirk—the lazy one, the I-know-I'm-beautiful-and-so-do-you special—and glided over like I owned the marble she was standing on. Which, for the record, I probably could. After taxes.
"You look lost," I said, sliding into her peripheral vision like a shark. Smooth. Easy. Devastating.
She didn't even flinch.
Just lifted her glass, took a sip, and said, "I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be."
Okay. Cute. A little ice queen routine. I'd thawed better.
"I'm Ricardo," I tried, letting my name hang in the air like a grenade with the pin already pulled. I even gave her the eyebrow raise. The scarred one. Works every time.
She glanced at me. Once. Humming a nonchalant cool.
I actually laughed. Out loud. Not my polished media laugh—a real, incredulous did this just happen laugh. "Cool," I repeated, dragging the word out like it was a foreign language. "That's it? No 'oh my God'? No sweaty palms? No weirdly specific request for a photo for your cousin's birthday?"
She finally looked up. Properly.
