The press conference was about to start, and for the life of him, Charles couldn’t stop grinning. He fiddled with the knot of his tie, his pulse thrumming in his ears. It was all a bit much, really. He hadn't known anything about the biography until the manuscript was sent over for a quick review.

He paced back and forth in his lavish hotel suite. He felt a light, almost giddy sensation in his chest. A photographer adjusted the lights. The click of the camera barely registered.

He felt a sudden, irrepressible urge to break into song. Instead, he just cleared his throat and sat down, his hands clasped tightly. Here, he felt, was a moment that demanded to be savored.
