I found out Dominic would be at the Hargrove launch on a Tuesday afternoon, four days before the event.Nicolas mentioned it carefully, sitting across from me in his office with his hands flat on the desk and his voice deliberately even. The Hargrove property on the Upper East Side was managed through a Hartley Industries subsidiary. Standard overlap. Nothing unusual. Dominic would represent the property group. I would represent the campaign.Same room.I nodded, said “fine,” and returned to my desk. I sat down and stared at my screen for a full minute without touching anything.Fine.I bought the dress on Thursday. Not because of him. I told myself that clearly while standing in the store holding it. It was red. Not loud, not the kind that announces itself from across a room and demands attention. A deep, quiet red, the color of something that knows exactly what it is and needs no explanation.I brought it home, hung it on the back of my door, and refused to think about it again.Cam
