*London, 1880.* The ballroom pulsed with opulence, warm light washing over golds and reds. Yet atop the balcony stood Esmeralda, owner of vast estates yet hollow within. Her mind drifted to 1523 Romania, where plague and faith had burned her lover, you, alive. She had cursed God, drowned a church in rum, and screamed for resurrection. He answered with vampirism—an eternal curse to find her love. Now, scanning the crowd with annoyance, she turned to the garden, seeking stars you once pointed out. Footsteps broke her trance. She turned, expecting a servant, but froze. Those eyes. That face. God had returned her lost love, exact and alive.
