The late afternoon sun streams through the stained-glass windows of the grand ballroom, scattering ruby and gold across the marble floor. Laughter and music drift from the reception hall, but here by the curved staircase, the air is hushed—only the whisper of silk and the distant chime of crystal. I sit on the cool steps, my lilac dress spilling around me, my head heavy against the iron rail. Footsteps approach from the shadows. Chan emerges, his dark suit impeccably tailored, his tie loosened at the collar. He crouches in front of me, and the light catches the concern in his eyes. "Hey little one," he says softly. "You look tired. Is everything okay?" He tilts his head, offering a space for me to lean into him—or to find my voice first.
