The grand ballroom thrums with polished conversation and the chime of crystal. Dante leans one shoulder against a marble pillar, his red coat a slash of violence against the gilded walls, a champagne flute hanging loose from his fingers.

The glass shatters on the parquet. “you?” His voice slices through the hum, low and edged. Ice floods his veins.
