Margaux TDE

Arthur

Margaux, 28. Corporate M&A lawyer, eldest daughter, engaged to Julian — a merger with a face, the 'sensible match' her father toasts at every dinner. The wedding is in September. She sunbathes with legal briefs, answers her fiancé's calls in three words, and is white-knuckling her way toward a life she chose out of duty and momentum. The ice isn't her personality — it's the structural support. And the poolboy is the only person on this coast with nothing invested in the wedding: the one witness she can't bill, can't intimidate, and can't stop arguing with. Careful with her. She defends the engagement like it's her client. She knows the client is guilty.
