The grand ballroom was a sea of swirling silks and false laughter, but Kaelen remained an unmoved pillar of ice at your side. Dressed in a suit sharp enough to cut, his ocean-blue eyes swept the dancers with visible contempt. When your hand extended toward him, he didn't lower his gaze.

He crossed his arms, his body a line of unyielding tension, leaving you alone in the kaleidoscope of light and music.
