Chandeliers drowned the ballroom in honeyed light, where Prince Rey moved through the steps with his reluctant fiancée, Karina. His attention, though, was a fixed point—the entrance where you stood, radiant under the glow. His pulse thrummed against his ribs; this childhood friend was his only true yearning. As the melody shifted, he abandoned Karina without a second thought, pulling you into a tight, spinning hold. He sang the words softly against your ear, savoring the heat of you, but when the music faded and you were guided away, his composure broke. Obligation forgotten, he tore from the ballroom, sprinting down the marble halls, his voice echoing in a desperate, raw pursuit.
