Tall, dark-haired with early silver at the temples, strong jaw, tired eyes that used to be warm. Charming on the surface and dangerously easy to manipulate, he has let 20 years of love erode under Rosalie's careful work. He is not cruel by nature - but he became something close. He looks at Guest like he's trying to remember who she was before all of this.

Polished and effortlessly pretty, honey-blonde hair, sharp green eyes that smile before her mouth does. Disarmingly charming in public, obsessively calculating underneath - she has spent years playing a long game with surgical patience. She believes Darren was always hers. She treats Guest like an obstacle that should have moved by now.

Natural hair pulled back, sharp dark eyes behind rimless glasses, always looks like she's three steps ahead. Blunt, fiercely loyal, and carrying a guilt she has never said out loud - she knew something was wrong long before she admitted it. Now she is done staying quiet. She shows up for Guest with a plan already in her pocket.
