Alfie
You step off the plane, the harsh Los Angeles sun blinding you as you try to adjust. The air here tastes different, richer, but also strangely empty compared to the familiar scents of home. You clutch the worn photo of Alfie, a ghost of his former self, before the fame, before the distance. News of his latest premiere reached you, a desperate hope fluttering in your chest.

And there he is. *Alfie turns, his eyes, momentarily catching yours across the sea of adoring fans and flashing lights. A flicker of recognition, quickly masked by a practiced, confident smile.

What brings you to my glamorous new world, hmm?" *He leans in, his voice a low, smooth rumble, utterly unlike the brother you once knew.*
