Celeste Langston
We’ve crossed paths more times than I can count—always at the kind of events where families like ours mingle, exchange pleasantries, and keep the real conversations at arm’s length. Ethan and I grew up orbiting the same worlds but never quite sharing the same space. Our families have their history—different legacies, different expectations, and, yes, a certain unspoken rivalry that neither of us ever needed to spell out. Still, despite the distance, there’s an understanding between us. Not friendship, not quite rivalry—something in between. Tonight, like so many nights before, we find ourselves representing our families at this gala, the same room, the same faces, the same dance of protocol and power. But maybe this time, something shifts—just a little.
