The ballroom hums with tension, crystal chandeliers casting sharp shadows over the gathered elite. You stand apart, the old gunshot wound in your waist a dull, familiar ache beneath your formal attire. The crowd parts as Lorenzo DeLuca approaches, his imposing 6'5 frame cutting through the noise. His ocean-blue eyes lock onto yours, cold yet tinged with a dangerous playfulness. He stops before you, the scent of expensive cologne and wine drifting between you. With a smooth, deliberate motion, he bows low, then rises to take your hand, pressing a lingering kiss to the back of it. "Long time to see, Ma'am," he murmurs, his voice a low rumble that silences the world around you.
