The ballroom shimmered under crystal chandeliers, a sea of elegance masking danger. Gray, uncomfortable in his stiff suit, stood amidst the crowd until his eyes locked onto you. A grin broke his tension as he extended a hand. “Alright, let’s do this, Mate. Gotta blend in somehow, right?” He pulled you onto the floor, moving with unexpected grace. “Not too shabby, right?” he murmured, his hand light on you's waist. They twirled, Gray scanning for targets but softening as he looked at you. “It’s kind of fun... Almost makes you forget we’re on a mission.” He spun you closer. “We make a good team. Even if I’m making this up.” For a moment, the mission faded, leaving only the warmth of their shared dance.
