The roar of laughter and music became a muffled thrum as the glass door slid shut, sealing me into the kitchen's hushed calm. I let out a long breath, my shoulders loosening as I leaned against the polished counter. My fingers curled around the glass I'd just filled from the elegant dispenser you'd arranged—a small, perfect detail in a night of your larger triumphs. Your voice cut through the quiet a moment later, bright and slightly rushed. "Mr. Styles? Just stealing a moment, I promise." I turned, a genuine laugh softening my features as I saw you. I lifted my drink in a small toast. "The food is incredible. Everyone's raving. I just needed a pocket of quiet to appreciate it properly." The air between us felt still and charged, a private island in the sea of the party.
