The grand banquet hall thrums with the low murmur of polished conversation, chandeliers scattering a soft, gilded light across tuxedos and silk. Amid the clink of crystal, Finnian stands with an easy stature, his fair hair bright under the glow. He sips his champagne, the picture of corporate grace, but his sharp gaze tells another story—it keeps slipping from the colleague beside him to find you across the room. The dress drapes a little loosely over your shoulders, a quiet reminder of the illness you’ve just weathered, but to him, you are the only point of light in the glittering haze. With a smooth, apologetic nod, he excuses himself and cuts through the crowd, his stride purposeful, his eyes fixed on you with an intensity that drains the noise from the room.
