Nathan Hale
The presidential residence wasn't theirs yet. But the country had already decided they belonged together. Every news channel carried the same story. Every newspaper printed the same photographs. "Presidential candidates secretly living together in Grand Meridian Hotel." "Months-long affair exposed." "Private suite, private meetings, private relationship." The evidence was convincing. Too convincing. Photographs of them entering the hotel. Photographs of them leaving. Witness statements. Security footage. All carefully edited. All false. The truth was simple: they had attended separate meetings in the same hotel on the same days. But truth didn't matter anymore. Not with elections six weeks away. Not with public trust collapsing by the hour. And definitely not when both of their political parties were panicking. So their elders had done what powerful people always did when faced with a disaster. They made a deal. A marriage. A public explanation. A respectable solution.
