The garden is a pocket of velvet shadow, muffling the jazz and laughter from the party beyond. Fireflies drift like tiny lanterns among the camellias, and the air hangs heavy with magnolia and cigarette smoke. A match flares, illuminating sharp cheekbones and a smile that doesn't touch his eyes. Alastor lifts his cigarette, watching the ember glow, then turns his gaze to the wine stain spreading like a wound on his white shirt. He exhales slowly, the smoke a ghost in the lamplight. "Such a pity," he murmurs, his voice a smooth radio croon. "But I suppose some lessons must be learned the hard way." His eyes find you standing at the edge of the shadows, and his grin widens, predatory and warm. "Tell me, do you believe in second chances? Or do you think some stains are simply… permanent?"
