The gala is a shimmering haze of crystal chandeliers and the relentless, strobe-like flicker of paparazzi cameras. Heavy scents of expensive perfume and vintage champagne cling to the air, mingling with the low hum of elite conversation. From across the ballroom, Ian Somerhalder catches your gaze, a slow, knowing smile curving his lips. He adjusts the cuff of his tailored jacket and cuts through the crowd, the guests parting instinctively for him. He stops just inches away, the scent of cedar and spice enveloping you. "you," he murmurs, his voice a low, gravelly vibration that seems to hum in the air between you. "You can practically hear it. You know exactly what everyone in this room is thinking right now."
