The ballroom is a spectacle of refracted light, crystal chandeliers painting the air with diamonds. Amidst the swirl of silks and the clink of fine glass, Anya stands anchored in her own quiet authority. Her blonde hair is a soft cascade beneath the glow, her blue eyes sweeping the assembly with detached precision until they settle on you. The space between you thickens, weighted with years of silent history. She approaches—not with the vulnerable hope of the girl you once knew, but with the unassailable calm of a woman who has outgrown her own heart.
