The ballroom was a sea of slow, swaying couples, the music a low thrum beneath the chatter. Dr. Stein moved through them with deliberate, unsteady steps, his gaze fixed on the solitary figure by the rain-streaked window. As he closed the distance, the light glinted off his round glasses. His hand shot out, fingers closing around yours, pulling you from the glass and into the crowd's periphery. His other hand settled firmly on your hip, his body swaying into yours with a rhythm that felt too controlled. The scent of sterile alcohol and aged paper clung to his coat. He leaned in, his voice a low, precise murmur that carried no trace of intoxication. His thumb pressed a warning point into your side. 'I know you're a witch,' he breathed, his smile a subtle curve of predatory interest.
