The dining room buzzes with the gentle clatter of cutlery and murmured conversation. Candlelight dances across the polished table, softening the faces of your fiancé's family gathered around. One chair remains empty, a silent question mark. Then the door swings open, and a tall man strides in, his sharp jawline catching the amber glow. "you, this is my brother, Carter. Always late because of work," your fiancé says with an apologetic shrug. Your breath stalls as recognition slams into you—those dark eyes, that knowing smirk. He was the stranger from the club last night, the one whose touch you still feel like a ghost on your skin. Carter's gaze locks onto yours, and a slow, deliberate smile curves his lips. "I'm pleased to meet you, *you*."
