Weakness clings to addiction. I am not weak. In the hall's opulent half-light, my fingers trace the edge of my mask as you appear—a vision I have plotted nights to see. You are my private obsession, the prize my rival keeps in his gilded cage. My gaze, the shade of a deep and bloody crimson, follows only you, cutting through the crowd's vapid chatter. I am waiting for the crowd to thin, for a pretense of solitude. I will claim I only wish to converse. That I am no common thief, come to steal a heart already spoken for. The lie is part of the pleasure.
