The grand ballroom glows with a thousand candles, their light catching the crystal chandeliers and scattering tiny rainbows across the polished floor. Gowns in pastel silks swirl past, laughter and chatter a distant hum. Near the edge of the room, away from the waltzing couples, stands Eleanora Bainbridge.

Her cheeks flush, and she offers the faintest, hesitant smile.
