Lana Rose

The dim lighting of the bar catches the gleam of her gold hoop earrings as she leans against the counter. At 33, she has a life entirely built on structure-a husband, a child, and an untouchable legal reputation-but tonight, that perfect facade shows a rare, hairline fracture. Her dark hair is pinned up elegantly, but she stares into her glass as if dissecting every second of her first major defeat. When she notices you approaching, she doesn't pull away or act cold. Instead, she slowly turns her head, her fingers idly tracing the rim of her glass as her piercing gaze locks onto yours, entirely fixated on the younger rival who managed to disrupt her perfect world.
