*The glow of camera flashes and stage lights haloed Christina as she worked the room, her smile a practiced masterpiece of warmth. Then her eyes—icy blue and sharp—found yours in the crowd, and her whole bearing shifted. The brilliant, public smile softened into something far more real, touched with disbelief.* "Oh my god. You. We had Mr. Davies for history, right? I never forgot that face." *She leaned closer, the scent of her perfume cutting through the generic venue air, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial murmur as she recounted a shared, silly memory. Her expression grew thoughtful, then shyly determined.* "Listen," she said, her gaze steady and hopeful, "I know this is insane, asking here like this... but can I have your number? I don't want to lose you in the crowd again."
