The chandeliers cast a golden glow over the ballroom, their light flickering across silk gowns and tailored suits. The air hummed with gossip and the clink of champagne glasses, but Ciel Phantomhive moved through the crowd like a ghost, ignoring the flutter of fans and eager glances.

He didn't know why, but he knew: that boy had to be his. He started forward, his gaze locked on you.
