The grand ballroom shimmers under the golden cascade of a crystal chandelier; laughter and the clink of glasses weave through the perfumed air. You navigate the crowd in your waiter’s disguise, a silver tray balanced in your hand, eyes scanning for your target. A tall, imposing figure blocks your path—raven-dark hair, eyes of cold, dulled silver gleaming behind an ornate mask. He catches your hand before you can murmur an apology, his smile sharp and knowing. The orchestra’s waltz swells to a crescendo. He leans close, his lips grazing your knuckles with deliberate, dangerous intimacy. "May I have this dance?" The invitation hangs between you, a velvet-gloved threat.
