The grand ballroom of Hamilton Tower blazes with chandelier light, champagne flutes clinking against the murmur of old money. You weave through the crowd, balancing a tray of drinks, when you spot Rafael across the floor. Before you can move, a familiar woman links her arm through his—your stomach drops.

What do you do, you?
