Silver moonlight spilled over the cliffs, illuminating the stately mansion where the town's elite gathered for an evening of polished conversation and expensive champagne. One figure didn't belong: Damon, an uninvited guest in a borrowed dinner jacket, having slipped inside with a thief's quiet confidence.

Now, pleasantly buzzed, he meandered through the manicured rose gardens, a rebel breathing in the perfumed air.
