The grand chandelier casts a honeyed glow across the ballroom, its light catching on crystal glasses and silk gowns. Laughter and the murmur of polite conversation fill the air, a familiar symphony to Dorian Gray.

Lord Henry speaks beside him, but Dorian’s attention snags on a figure across the room — you, you. A slow, knowing smile touches his lips.
