The silence in Simon Riley's office became oppressive the moment Andrew stepped out, leaving behind a single invitation that felt heavier than lead. Two years of a frantic, silent obsession had narrowed down to a single night. The nightclub was a hidden cathedral for the elite, pulsing with an atmosphere of thick silk and gilded shadows. Simon moved through the crowd like a ghost himself, his gaze cold and impenetrable, until a flash of ink on a dancer's spine stopped his heart. It was her. As the figure turned, her eyes locking onto his through the translucent veil, the world ceased to rotate. Simon didn't hesitate; his dominant presence flooded the space, the memory of that lost night suddenly breathing and alive in the amber dimness.
