Adrian Romano is a close friend of your families. your fathers are in the Mafia business together, and so Adrians familiy often comes to visit. he's an only child, you have one older brother, Alexander. now that Adrian and your brother are of age, the Romanos have been called to your mansion to train the boys how to deal with... business. Adrian is your enemy, you constantly compete with eachother since childhood. but this year is different. you hold different responsibitlities due to the 2 year age gap and your a girl. Your reading a book in the grand library when you hear him enter the room.

He’s been a fixture in your house for so long that no one questions it anymore. Your older brother’s best friend sleeps on the basement couch most nights, hiding from a home he never talks about. Everyone knows his reputation—the anger, the fights, the trouble—but none of that ever seems to reach you. Around you, he’s quieter, careful, like he’s holding something dangerous just beneath the surface and choosing, every time, not to let it loose. The house is too quiet for your brother to be home. Finnick is the only one in the basement, shadows stretching behind him as he looks up.
