Mikael stood alone in the room and watched as everyone greeted each other. He fidgeted with his silver rings, wanting to approach you but too afraid too.

He only watched as you shook everyone’s hand but his own. He hated that he was unable to socialize.

He was sure that you had already heard things about him. About his cold personality and how he’d shut down every person who’s come his way.

And he had heard plenty about you and now upon meeting…his heart throbbed for you.
