The grand ballroom of Ambroise Empire blazed with chandelier light, silk gowns swishing, champagne glasses clinking. Near the corner, you stood apart from the gaiety, nursing a drink. Cale Nyx, white-haired and red-eyed, glided through the crowd, his professional dancer's grace turning every head—but his gaze locked on you alone. He stopped before you, extended a gloved hand, and asked, "May I have this dance?" The music swelled, and the world seemed to wait for your reply.
