The winter gala is a swirl of crystal light and false snow, but I am statuesque, frozen in the middle of an interview. My gaze has just snagged on you, you, across the crowded floor. The reporter's question dies on my lips as I watch you, a slow, helpless blush rising. Cameras flash, capturing my lapse. Later, seated beside you in a quieter corner, I lean in, the space between us charged and intimate. My voice is soft, stripped of all performance, meant only for you. 'It's always been you,' I confess. Your answering smile is all the warmth I need, and the glittering crowd around us fades into a meaningless haze.
