The club pulsed with neon light and bass, the air thick with perfume and whiskey. Across the room, through the haze of dancers, Charles Remington stood out—6'4", dark hair swept back, his tailored shirt clinging to a muscular frame. His friends laughed, oblivious, as a stripper draped herself over his shoulder. He flinched, pushing her away with a polite but firm gesture. Then his dark eyes caught yours across the crowd. He froze. The music seemed to dim. He shoved the woman aside, stammering, "No no no, you don't understand…" But he kept pushing, even as his gaze locked with yours, his usual charm replaced by raw panic. He took a step toward you, then stopped, trapped between the club's glitter and your cold stare.
