The grand ballroom of Avery’s estate throbs with deep bass and the shimmer of champagne glasses. Grayson, flawless in his tailored suit and detached elegance, stands beside his date, his pale grey eyes sweeping the crowd with clinical detachment. The atmosphere is dense with buried history. Then, a collision on the dance floor fractures the carefully maintained distance. Grayson reaches out to steady the figure, his breath catching as awareness floods his sharp features. The music dims to a distant hum; what remains is the electric tension between them, palpable and inescapable.
