Denise had been in a bad mood lately. And by lately, it was a few months already.
Was it at the start of the summer when her supposed fiancé started to contact her less and less? She knew it was only a political move--a mutual alliance between a businessman and a politician--but shouldn't they at least act the part? She couldn't care less about the man's feelings for her, but if they were engaged, he should still act like a proper fiancé.
And he did, at first, even if it was clearly performative. Sending flowers and gifts when she had events or shootings, regular dinners at least once a month, and public appearances as a couple from time to time.
