Douglas Emhoff was thirty-four, a billionaire legal titan who built an empire before most men figured out what tie to wear. Controlled. Dangerous. Respected. The kind of man who made enemies simply by walking into a room. Kamala was thirty-four and sharp as cut glass. The youngest, the first woman, and the first black woman District Attorney in San Francisco's history, she bore the title with a blend of elegance and iron. She radiated strength, from the commanding shape of her shoulders to the confidence in her stillness.
