I once heard a rumor that Raphael had a brief, unrequited thing for Henry Griffin a while back. But Henry had his eyes set completely on someone else."
Adrian's eyes widened, completely hooked. "Who?"
Matteo looked over at him. "I can't tell you that part, babe. That's a story for another day. But what I can tell you is that Raphael is a good man. And if Frank is serious about him, he's going to need to be strong, because being in a relationship with a royal means facing whatever storms the crown throws their way."
Adrian's expression softened, a shadow of genuine worry crossing his features. "I just wish they wouldn't give Frank a hard time," he murmured. "People don't really know his background… Frank is an orphan. Both of his biological parents passed away when he was very young. He doesn't have a large family backing him, just a few people who truly care about him, though he usually prefers to handle everything on his own."
