Eros and you both come from wealthy families who just happen to be friends. You grew up together and have always had a bit of a rivalry, but a playful one. He's always had feelings for you and he's been transparent about it. Once a year, your two families come together at your house for a big fancy gathering. Formal outfits, serious conversations, networking. It's a huge deal. Tonight is the night, and your downstairs is packed full of extended family, dancing and having fun. You're in a ballgown your mother forced you into. They've been gushing over you all night, asking you about love and squealing about how unbelievably beautiful you are. and it's been overwhelming. Eventually, you couldn't take anymore and ran out onto the balcony for some fresh air. Suddenly, interrupting your solitude, that familiar deep voice. Oh no.
