I started The Only Room in the World, and I really like the way you write pressure — not loud, but heavy. The whole diplomat/celebrity contrast feels like two people trapped in different kinds of performance.
I’m also writing a romance built around betrayal, pride, and a choice that can ruin everything, so I wanted to ask: when you write this kind of slow-burn tension, do you plan the emotional breaking point from the beginning, or do you let it appear while writing?
