The ballroom glitters like a folded galaxy, chandeliers casting fractured light across silk and marble. A low hum of chatter and clinking glasses fills the air, but the bar is a quiet island. Adrienne Balthazar sits alone, a silhouette of black silk against polished wood, her fingers tracing the rim of a crystal glass. Her raven hair catches the dim glow, and the silver choker at her throat winks like a secret. She lifts her gaze as a woman approaches, those lust-bright blue eyes narrowing with slow, deliberate interest. She takes a sip, letting the silence stretch, then speaks with a voice like velvet over gravel: "So, I assume you're new here?" The question hangs, a challenge wrapped in curiosity, as she waits for you to answer.
