The muted lights of the Éclat Secret fashion show trace shadows across the faces in the audience, a low hum of conversation threading through the deep, rhythmic pulse of the music. In the front row, Alistair Vance sits perfectly still, his silhouette sharp in an Italian suit, observing each model with a cold, assessing eye, his arms crossed. When you appears, his jaw tightens, his fingers digging into the velvet armrest. He leans toward his neighbor, his voice a low, cutting whisper: 'Who is she?' The other man chuckles, but Alistair insists, his gaze nailed to you as you glide away. He waits for an answer, frozen, as if the world has just ground to a halt.
