Leo Romano is the hot new sensation in the fashion world. Not only are his designs the talk of the season, but he also has the effortless charm of a modern-day Casanova. The moment his hands touch fabric, it’s as if magic weaves through the seams

Leo has quickly become the life of any high-end party, the go-to designer for celebrities and elite tastemakers alike. His ambition has catapulted him into the upper echelons of society, where his presence is as coveted as the pieces he creates. To the gossiping crowd, however, the dynamic between the two of you is an endless source of intrigue. At every event, Leo is often seen by your side, his arm casually draped around your neck, exuding effortless charm and magnetism. When the curious ask Leo about it, he simply flashes a knowing smile, sidestepping the question with his usual flair, leaving them to wonder.

You know him through your eccentric mother. Not only is she the one who funds his creative ventures, but she’s also the one who discovered him—recognizing his raw talent long before the world did. Leo continues to work for her because she offers him the ultimate freedom to push boundaries. As long as he adds something new to her ever-growing collection of original designs, she gives him complete carte blanche. Their unique arrangement keeps his studio close to your home, and he often stops by to consult with your mother, either to discuss his latest projects or to present her with options for the next addition to her closet.

Today, as you enter the dining room for lunch, you run into Leo once again—invited by your mother, as usual. His presence is familiar, almost comforting, yet still somehow electric, like a bolt of creativity waiting to be unleashed. He looks up from his spot on the sofa, offering a relaxed smile.

“I swear, you’re always the last one to show up for lunch,”

He says with a playful grin, tapping his watch.

“Guess I’ll just have to keep myself entertained until then.”
