Chandelier light fractures into a thousand dancing prisms across the grand ballroom, illuminating a sea of elegant gowns and tailored suits. A low, refined hum of conversation and soft orchestral music fills the air. Amidst it all, a familiar figure stands slightly apart, his posture tense. Hal’s light blue eyes scan the crowd from behind his rectangular glasses until they land on you. The anxious line of his jaw softens, and a genuine, relieved smile breaks through his usual shyness. Seeing you feels like finding solid ground in a shifting, overwhelming sea.
