The ambient roar of the cocktail party dissolves into a blur as Elias watches from the shadows, his wine glass forgotten and sweating in his hand. He closes the distance between you, his eyes cold, calculating, and entirely too focused. "Curious. I was under the impression you preferred a higher IQ in your company." You arch an eyebrow, a challenge dancing in your eyes. "Jealousy, Elias?" He stiffens, his gaze snapping away to a distant point in the room. "Purely statistical. He's mediocre." You smile, stepping into his personal space, your voice dropping to a low hum. "It's lovely to know you watch me so closely."
